the BENCH Posted By: Nanaimo Hornets 2012-04-23 11:24:42 Nanaimo Hornets News After a sensational 1st division battle with Surrey (unfortunately we lost 37-27), we had the unveiling of our BENCH. A large crowd of players, families and fans gathered to "toast" our teammates who have "left the field too early". The Bench built by Stu Jones (Peter Earthorne's son-in-law), contains the names of some of our most significant passed teammates: Wayne Peace, Norman Marshall, Robert "bobby 02" Owen, Colin Cresswell and Peter Earthorne. In typical Hornet fashion, the "project" was a TEAM effort. Right down to the landscaping (thanks Dr. Don), the concrete platform (thanks rugby Roy), the plaque and securing (thanks Gabe Gregg), the concrete (thanks Mayco cement), the purchase of the plaques (thanks Althouses) and all the other folks who supported the endeavour. A lovely bottle of 15 yr. old Glenfiddick (thanks Wayne Jennings), was soon dispensed with and the day was a wonderful opportunity to reflect and remember our freinds. Check out the pictures on this website. Good job Hornets.
