My dad Clive Smith, nicknamed Mousey, played back row for the club alongside Tony Goold in the 70’s. I have always tried my best to help out the club and was able to use my experience, working for Coors Brewers, to assist and guide them when they were going through some darker financial times. My knowledge and that of others, allowed us to focus on the clubs recovery by implementing the necessary structure to ensure its survival. I am delighted that the club are enjoying such a positive season from top to toe within the club. I suppose my family are very much a rugby crowd, my daughter Holly works for European Rugby and is currently an Operations Manager there. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone associated with Beddau Rugby Club the very best of health and success for the future, as a club they are a great example to all!” 74 Issue 54
