For the past 52 years David has been a member of Harrodians RFC - which changed its name to Barnes RFC in 1992. Initially David was a player, then administrator, official and finally President, as he is today. Barnes RFC currently play in National League 2 East.

He has been a Vice President of Surrey Rugby for about 15 years and sits on the Surrey Disciplinary Panel. He was delighted to have been asked to become Surrey President for the 2023/24 season and now holds the role of Past President. David is always very happy to help out Surrey Rugby - or any Surrey club - at any level or in any way, especially if they are embracing the Surrey Rugby ethos of trying to “Prosper and Thrive“ by growing their club, embracing the spirit of rugby and friendship and if….they enjoy the “Craic”!

David is also a firm believer that you make many new friends - and keep old ones - by being involved in Rugby. He cannot recommend volunteering, either in your local club or at county level, highly enough.
