The Gould Standard

Taking a break from the bespoke WW1 trips for the next few weeks (who in their right minds wants to go to the muddy fields of Flanders at this time of year? The poor old Tommies certainly didn't...) - so time to catch up with the writing.
I've started work on a history of Newport Rugby - as ever, always going for the obvious best selling ideas...any good agents out there???
Picture above is of a famous - possibly the most famous - Newport player, Arthur Gould. Nicknamed "Monkey" because of his childhood habit of climbing every tree in sight. And rugby, after all, is a game for boys who never quite grew up...
