Occasionally I receive uplifting news and I often regret that I don't share it more widely. This evening is one of those times and I will share it as widely as I can.
I have just come off a Teams call with a senior and seasoned venture capitalist. My last physical meeting with him was at Norton Caines services after I was returning to the Wirral with Caldy RFC after playing Ampthill RFC.
On the Teams call the venture capitalist made mention of our chance meeting to the others on our call. He had been deeply impressed by the courtesy and kindness shown by the Caldy players to an old and somewhat confused lady who was clearly struggling somewhat.

He informed the call that a Caldy player had gone across to the distressed lady and asked if he could help. She explained she needed to find the loo. The Caldy player took her arm and guided her through a busy and crowded service station to the ladies loos.

The kindness and understanding of the Caldy player made a very deep impression on the Venture Capitalist.........and the hearing of it made me prouder of the Caldy players than any win in the Championship could ever do. It made my day

Rugby players are a different class. It sounds as though Caldy have taken it to a whole new level.
Well done guys.
