From Paul Harrison:

It is with great sadness that we say a fond farewell to Barrie Boundy, Launceston Rugby Club President from 2011 - 2013.

Barrie was to the rugby club one of the people that do, the behind the scenes people, that people don’t always see or appreciate.

He was one of the initial people (through Truscotts) to help buy the original floodlights which were for many years of great service and were only replaced last year.

Many a week day was spent helping Dave Baker to help get the bar ready; moving barrels and bottles; picking up spuds as required; manning a barbecue, nothing fazed him.

He was great at getting either donations, of objects, money, fundraising, raffles and cars, which were normally for players that were passing through the club at the time. He knew a lot people and often called on their help for the club, which was always appreciated.

He will be sadly missed and our thoughts go out to Ann, Adam, Mark and his extended family at this difficult time. RIP

Chairman, Launceston Rugby Club
