They called themselves The Fellows. They were captains of University sports teams between 1988-1992 and have kept in touch since they graduated.
The Fellows each pay ?25 into a joint account each month to fund get-togethers. They were: Jed Glanvill (Economics 1991 and Rugby 1st XV captain 1990/91), John Webster (Industrial Economics 1991 and Rugby Club Captain 1989/90), Steve Currie (Geography 1991 and Rugby Club Captain 1990/91), Nick Gregory (French and Spanish 1992 and Cricket 1st XI Captain 1990), Andrew Quick (Industrial Economics 1990) and Andrew Stott (History 1991 and Cricket 2nd XI Captain 1990).
But in 2005 their numbers were reduced with the sad death of Andrew Quick from cancer.
The Fellows have decided to donate ?350 from their fund to the Vaughan Parry Williams Coaching Fund in memory of Andrew. Many of the University?s world-class sportsmen and women were inspired by Vaughan, the former Director of Sport and Physical Recreation, who dedicated almost 33 years to sport at the University before his death in 2009.
?When we set up The Fellows our intention was always keep in touch and attend a number of events together,? said Nick Gregory. ?In the early days we played Old Boys games of rugby and had an annual cricket match against a similar group from another part of the country. In recent years, as middle-age has caught up, we tend to meet up at events such as the Varsity match but have also attended rugby matches in France and Italy.
?We decided to send this sum in memory of both Andy and of Vaughan whom several of us remember with enormous fondness both for his Thursday evening fitness sessions for the rugby club and his role with English Universities rugby. More than half of the group had direct experience of running around Wollaton Park behind Vaughan on one of his much-feared but much-valued training sessions as part of the University Rugby squad in the days before protein shakes and ice baths.?
You too can support the Vaughan Parry Williams Coaching Fund, which is a key project within Impact: The Nottingham Campaign. The coaching fund total currently stands at ?140,000 and is already having an impact on sports provision at the University. Thanks to the fund, eight high-calibre coaches are providing professional expertise to students in an effort to grow sport for all at The University of Nottingham and help able-bodied and disabled athletes reach their potential at all levels.
