@campbellmurray1 Hi Campbell, sorry to hear about your boy and his injury. Iโm afraid I donโt have any appointments available on that timescale at the moment. My secretary could put you on the cancellation list if thatโs any good. Wishing him a swift recovery
Bath Rugby is devastated to learn of the sad passing of former club doctor Julian Widdowson.
A kind, caring man and an excellent professional in his field, Julian spent 12 years at The Rec between 2003-2015.
Our thoughts go out to his family ๐
So much admiration for this! Incredible performance and what an inspiration winning the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii 18 months post-partum ๐๐คฏ๐#trailblazer#womeninsport https://t.co/Dycz4AkkTW
