Nick Schumann anecdote from July 2022

Nick Schumann's funeral took place at North Hertfordshire Crematorium on Tuesday at a service attended by a number of JOG Seniors. A theme of the service was Nick's career which took him all over the world. Algy Grimes found this article written by Nick for the blog after our match against Gog Magog in July 2022. We reprint this anecdote, about his time in Hong King, as a tribute to the great man.



A quick anecdote - I have been organising this match for several weeks with their captain Roy Fleetwood who as it turns out is someone I worked with in Hong Kong during the 80’s so we had a great time catching up as us old boys tend to do by trying to remember names, mostly unsuccessfully. The most worrying thing however is that neither of us managed to put two and two together until sitting having a drink on the patio after the round. A sure sign of old age!!
