All at Barton Hill RFC are sending their condolences to the family and friends of John White, who sadly passed away over the weekend.
John was a notable figure throughout the combination and at Barts, photographing so many of our games over the years.
He will be sorely missed by many and will leave a big whole in the bristol combination community.
RIP Scoop 🖤
