It is with deep regret that Hampshire Rugby has been made aware of the recent passing of Robin Jackson, Past President of New Milton and District RFC.

'Club stalwart@ accurately describes Robin and he will be greatly missed by his friends at the club and in the wider rugby family.

Hampshire RFU Executive Director, Rick Scott writes:"I met Robin several times as New Milton & District RFC worked towards RFU Club Accreditation and had the pleasure of sharing lunch with him at the club; he and his wife Margaret, then hosted my wife and I at a club dinner where we treated royally.

"Robin was a true gentleman and will be sadly missed. My condolences, and those of all of Hampshire Rugby, go to his family and club friends."
