Thanks for that mate , maybe I have the dates wrong , old age and all that . We toured when the wall came down . I have great memories of being at checkpoint charlie , touring the East on horse and cart and touching base with Jim Brown on the Brandenburg Gate (he was working as a BG for Pete Gouch at the time) , and buying bits of the wall as momentos . So , it did happen , maybe not when I said it did .
Anyone out there with a better memory than me ?

Hello Jeff, We started to arrive in Berlin from beginning of May 89, and i do recall Crickhowell RFC playing out there but cant remember when. i recall reminiscing with a few players that i played with at Crickhowell 85/86 when posted to Brecon. Regards
