Rugby Club
In 1952, John Kidson arrived from Liverpool to work in Conwy, and was amazed that a Welsh town didn't have a Rugby Club. He formed the Llandudno Rugby Club, played all its inaugural season matches as away games. In 1953 the Conwy Football Club abandoned the Morfa sports ground, and the rugby club were established on the Morfa for the 1953-4 season. The town introduced rugby to the John Bright Grammar School, and the links between club and school are remembered by the Annual Boxing Day game between the Old Boys and the club. In 1957 a fire destroyed the dressing rooms at the Morfa ground, and the club departed to a new ground in Llandudno

Famous quotes containing the word club:
“The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.”
