Message from Mather Family

On behalf of myself and BMs family we want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of you who were able to join us in person or on line for Bs farewell and for the many beautiful tributes that we will keep and treasure; as a dear friend said so well, BM left an indelible, fun, naughty, larger than life impression on our lives. He was a gatherer of people and friends, a truly loyal bloke. We will miss him terribly but the love and support you have given us makes this journey bearable. ❤️‍🩹💗message of thanks to the Varsity communnity

Big shout out to Varsity Cap #827 Seb Stephen who became Scotland Cap #1240 over the weekend. Well deserved Seb I'm sure this is the first of many.
