Tommy Vile - Superb new book published
Rugby historian Phil Grant has released a new book on the life and career of Newport RFC legend Tommy Vile. Tommy played for Newport, Monmouthshire, The Barbarians, Wales and the British Lions as well as being a first class referee and WRU board chairman. He was also a leading local businessman. http://www.blackandambers.co.uk/Personnel.aspx?pr=107406 http://www.historyofnewport.co.uk/players/players.php?id=000236 FoNR and Newport RFC have assisted in the writing of this publication as have the Vile family. It really is a superb piece of work. Only 1000 copies have been produced and there will be no re-print. Order now to avoid disappointment. Copies can be ordered via FoNR at £25 each if collected. P&P at cost is extra. All profits to FoNR to help Newport RFC. Email: kevin.jarvis@ntlworld.com or phone 01633 665517 to order. Phil Grant will be giving a talk on his book at 12:00 in the Riverfront theatre on Wednesday 28th October. If anyone is around during the day it would be well worth attending. FoNR still have copies of this book available if you would like to order one. Kev Jarvis |
