If you want to send me your email I can put you in contact with him.<br /><br />You can contact me through my website www.nachohernandez.net<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />nachonacho hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090321859311734221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695603.post-9839696318880614352011-08-14T19:14:35.918-07:002011-08-14T19:14:35.918-07:00I am also a descendent of Sir David Monro and our ...I am also a descendent of Sir David Monro and our <br />son currently plays in the First XV for Nelson College and will be involved in the reenactment of the first game of rugby to be played in Nelson in September. I've recently read that there is to be a Monro reunion and I wondered how I could get some details of this. Any help gratefully appreciated.

Thanks so much for your comment and ...Hi Alastair,<br /><br />Thanks so much for your comment and for your very kind email (which I am replying to privately).<br /><br />It was a very, very nice surprise to meet Neil. As I said, we got to chat for a little while which I did with great pleasure. Regardless of his Monro heritage he is a very kind man. He did encourage me to buy the book and I didn't buy it, mainly because I don't have much space to carry it around as I continue my trip. I promised I would visit the museum again next year when they open at the new location, so I'll try to get it and have it signed then.<br /><br />I hope you (or other natives of Palmerston North) didn't take offense in my Cleese comment. I actually think Palmerston North is not as bad as he painted it, but I find him funny and the city's response was not bad either.<br /><br />Thanks again and I'll be in touch via email.<br /><br />Nachonacho hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090321859311734221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22695603.post-78180484770807872762010-11-01T22:54:31.548-07:002010-11-01T22:54:31.548-07:00The book that Neil Monro is browsing in your photo...The book that Neil Monro is browsing in your photo is best identified as it is the 2008 (and only) biography of Charles Monro, titled:<br /><br />"Monro: the Life and Times of the Man who gave New Zealand Rugby"<br /><br />As Neil, 80yo, is not only a grandson (of 5 + 5 granddaughters) but as he also the Museum's first and only Treasurer (of 41 years continuous and meritorious service), I do hope that he took the opportunity as NZRM Treasurer to encourage you to buy a copy of "Monro" while you were visiting the Museum (NZ$50 only) - and that Neil also autographed it for you too! Otherwise, I'm quite sure that can be arranged and we can have it posted to you in Manila.<br /><br />As to your Rugby doco about rugby in NZ, I'd be happy to assist you further - kindly email me asap with what you are trying to shoot etc before departing on 15 Nov in NZ, and i'll do what I can to help. Thanks.<br /><br />best wishes,<br /><br />alastair gaisford<br />Neil Monro's cousin, <br />and 1 of 30 of<br />CJ Monro's great grandchildren<br /><br />Born & raised in Palmerston North, and I'm OK!!alastairnoreply@blogger.com
