Penzance & Newlyn RFC AGM
Annual General Meeting Report 2008

A former Mayor of Marazion, Sidney Thomas, who is a Penwith District and Marazion Town Councillor, was appointed as the new Chairman of Penzance & Newlyn RFC at its Annual General Meeting held at the 'Westholme' clubhouse last Thursday.

He was filling a void which followed former Chairman Robin Turner resigning from office earlier in the year, after it had been announced that the then club's President, Dicky Evans, had stood down from the office.

Full Report >>>>

Geoff was a talented wing-forward who played for Mounts Bay Colts (as the Pirates Colts were at one time called) in the early-mid 1960s.

Geoff was a Mini-Juniors coach at the Pirates for a lengthy spell, when his son Matthew played for the section, and he has also been a conscientious and very able Steward on match days.

Such a fine man will be truly missed, and our sincere condolences are expressed to his family.
