Article: Bernie is toast of Northern

A HALF century of service to Edinburgh Northern rugby club by stalwart Bernie Lodge, 79, has been recognised with a dinner in his honour.

More than 120 friends and acquaintances gathered under a marquee at Northern's Inverleith Park headquarters to recognise the loyalty of the club's former captain, selector, secretary, treasurer and president and pay tribute.

From the Scottish Rugby Union there was a painting depicting the Scotland team which won the last-ever Five Nations Championship in 1999 while various clubs handed over gifts reflecting Bernie's service as an Edinburgh District representative.
