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.
