Some pics from last week's Legends gathering. Can't tag people for some reason so share and tag if you can.

As most of you know (and I hope this doesn't spoil anyone's day), we lost the Legend that is Gareth Rees a couple of weeks ago. There's a memorial service being held next Friday at 2pm at William Watson Funeral Directors, 17 Blackfriars Road, Elgin, IV30 1TY.

You'll find them on FB, they've asked that no flowers are sent and for donations to be made on the day for local charities. I've asked the family to see if they could nominate a charity for people to donate to if they can't make the service, and to see if there's a dress code. I'll update as and when I get that info.

Finally, can you share this post if you see it, please, I'm not entirely sure how often it pops up on people's feeds so the more we get it out there the more people will see it.

Anybody up for the USA game on Sat 1st November KO 17.40? Martin's coming up from Wales for this one and (like most of us) he's never seen the USA play. Give me a shout and I'll pass on details - tickets are available at around £35.

Nothing like a day/night out in Edinburgh, especially in the company of Legends!

Gavin reckons it's going to be a few months before he's able to use his 24/25 Warriors season ticket, basically until mid-season at least. Not wanting to see it wasted, he's offering it to anyone interested in attending regularly.

The reason for the 'regularly' part is that it's not as simple to use someone else's ST these days, you'll need the SRU app to let him transfer it to you. Mind you, if old farts like Gav & me can manage it I'm sure you youngsters can too. 🙂

Let me know if you're interested and, if not, please share this post (I'm not sure how well seen this page is) or tag another Legend if you think they'd be up for it. Or both!

Just got a message from Maggie, Gavin can have visitors from tomorrow so feel free to pop in if you can.

Morning all,

Gavin Reynolds had a fall from height at the weekend and, basically, has shattered his leg and had to get airlifted to hospital.

He's had his first surgery and they removed 18cm of bone and part of his muscle, plugged it with antibiotics and opened the wound further and put a pump in it. They reckon he will need a support cage on for about 2 years. There's another surgery scheduled for Monday to graft skin from his thigh to cover the wound, a very long operation with plastic surgeons.

No visitors except immediate family for now, and the family have asked everyone to hold off from direct contact, especially with Margaret. Maggie was there and had to apply a tourniquet to Gav's leg with a big lump of bone sticking out the shin so I'm guessing she's still in shock from that.

I'll put updates in here as and when I get them and I'll pass on any messages from you if you leave them in here.

This page isn't always that visible (apparently I need to pay for that!) so could you all share this so as many of us as possible see what's happening, especially anyone you know that isn't following the page.

Roddy Morrison is taking part in this year’s Glasgow Bridges Walk on the 20th August in memory of his (and our) friend and fellow Legend, Andy Wilson. He's fundraising for Kidney Research UK so any donation you can spare will be truly appreciated. Here's the link if you can help:
