The following report was taken from the Bangor RFC web-site, as was the picture:
DEATH OF FORMER BANGOR PLAYER AND CHAIRMAN DON OMBLER
Don passed away May 4th after a brave fight with cancer. Don was involved, as Bangor club chairman, with the building of the second clubhouse at Caernarfon Road, true to say that he was the driving force behind it and helped re-establish a home for the Club (we had been using various pubs for after match activities and meetings). This resulted in growth of rugby in Bangor at that time. Don was totally committed to the Bangor Rugby Club, both in terms of rugby on the fied and social events whether in the clubhouse or local hotels, Don organised speakers for fund raising events for the rugby club and for various charities. Generous with his time and financial support, a good friend to rugby in the whole area. He is pictured above in the 1993-4 team picture.
There are no events to show yet.
