Apologies for bringing you all some sad news.

Andy Wood who played back row for the club in the late 1980s and early 1990s passed away last weekend following a short illness..

Andy was a giant of a man, strong and very unassuming. He had such a black humour and an infectious smile.

Simon Rutt has shared the following memory:
"I remember one game for Biggy when he picked up everything from number 8 and scored 4 tries for the 1st XV. He never once thought of passing it out!"

Lesley wanted those who played with Andy to know of his passing

Leslie has confirmed that Andy’s funeral will be on

Friday 24th November 10am
Potton Cemetery Chapel, Sandy Road,
Potton,
Sandy.
SG19 2QQ.


And afterwards at Biggleswade Rugby Club.


Leslie has asked for rough numbers of those attending.


If you can let Simon Rutt know to forward to her, also please contact Simon who will forward to Lesley any messages of condolences.

Many thanks
