RIP Jeffrey Addison

Jeffrey was a tremendous servant and ambassador for the game in Nottingham as a player for both Nottingham University 1958-1961 and Nottingham 1951-1965. He also appeared for the Barbarians and played as either a lock or No 8.

After hanging up his boots, in the wider geography of NLD as an administrator, he served as the Hon Secretary 1971-1980, Representative on the RFU Council 1977-1998, President (NLD) 1985-1986 and culminating in his RFU Presidency in 1999-2000.

Jeffrey’s funeral will be at Wilford Hill Crematorium, Loughborough Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 7FE on Tuesday 18 March at 11am.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Jeffrey’s family and friends at this very sad time.
