ASRU
rugby museum to be established
ON
JULY 25 1829, some six years after William Webb Ellis’s epoch-making
feat, the Sydney Monitor recorded that: “The soldiers of the
Sydney Barracks amused themselves with a game of football.”
That was the advent of Rugby Union in the ADF.
In
an effort to harness the history of Services Rugby, the Australian
Services Rugby Union (ASRU) intends to establish a museum cabinet
to display trophies, trophies, match programs and memorabilia from
past seasons.
While
ASRU currently has a number of items for display in the cabinet
they are seeking contributions from past players and committee members
and would like to formally invite individuals to contribute to the
display.
Pictures
can be scanned and originals returned if people considering donating
such items wish to retain such photos.
Likewise,
non-pictorial items can also be donated for temporary or permanent
display.
Individuals
wishing to donate items should contact the ASRU Marketing Manager
Capt James Nicholas on (02) 6265 5813.
