Passing of John Stevens (Tring)
John Stevens, a Vice President of Tring, passed away in December after a short illness. He had a long standing association with Tring but also had strong rugby connections elsewhere.
John arrived at Tring in the early’70s from Brentwood and Upminster and soon became Club Captain and then Coach. Later in life he also enjoyed playing scrum half or full back for Tring 5th XV. After a spell of coaching at Hemel Hempstead and then Dunstable, John moved to Higham Ferrers. On his return to Tring a few years ago, John assisted the Club committee on the finances as well as dispensing is advice and view on rugby to all.
Whilst coaching at Hemel Hempstead, John was a member of the Hertfordshire RFU Coaching Committee from 1980 to 1985 and for the last two years was chairman and as such a member of the Hertfordshire Executive Committee. Later whilst in Higham Ferrers he held some senior positions with East Midlands RFU.
Our sympathy goes to his family. He will be missed by all his friends in rugby
