NICK WITNEY - RIP

Gillingham Anchorians RFC is saddened to learn of the passing on Nick Witney on 30 April - just 2 days short of his 50th birthday. Nick, who joined the Royal Marines after leaving The Howard School in 1980 fought in the Falklands Campaign in 1982. He was a truly inspirational team mate on the rugby field. He did not play rugby until the 3rd year at school, but, within a year was selected to play for Kent Schools. He also played for Anchs, being a fearless openside (think 'Mad Dog' Lewis Moody!) and was a thoroughly decent man. On behalf of the Club,       I extend our condolence and sympathy to his wife, Ann, his family and friends.

Funeral details: Monday 21st May at midday Barham Crematorium, Canterbury Road (A260), Barham, CT4 6QU. Thereafter, at Grove Ferry Inn, Upstreet Nr Canterbury, CT3 4BP
