Cheers to a Legacy: President Harry Walker bids farewell after two years of dedicated service to the Warwickshire RFU. In this nostalgic photo print, taken on the 17th of June 1988, we witness the culmination of his esteemed term as he sits at the center, surrounded by past presidents who have gathered to honor his retirement. The atmosphere is filled with joy and camaraderie as these rugby union enthusiasts come together for a cheese and wine party held at the Bedworth club. As glasses clink and laughter fills the air, memories are shared among friends who have witnessed the growth and success of their beloved sport under President Walker's leadership. Seated beside him are Cliff Harrison, Don Blythe, Derek Wilson, Stan Elliott, and John Richardson – distinguished figures in their own right. This snapshot from the vibrant 1980s captures not only a momentous occasion but also reflects an era when administrators like President Walker played an integral role in shaping rugby union. Their dedication was fueled by passion for both sport and community. Preserving this piece of history allows us to appreciate how celebrations were once marked by good beer amidst lively conversations about victories won on muddy fields.
