Reunion of 1960 First Rugby XV, proposed for 2011:

Geoff Stevenson (1956-60) emigrated to Canada in 1968 and now lives in retirement in Victoria, British Columbia. After working for the Otago Daily Times, Geoff went on to become managing editor of two of Canada’s largest daily newspapers. He is married to the former Anita Watson and they have one son, Brad, who is a manager with Microsoft in Seattle. Geoff is keen to organise a 50th reunion of his 1960 First XV, although he now thinks that may be easier during the World Cup of 2011. Geoff can be contacted through his email address – geoff-stevenson@shaw.ca
