Last week, Bay Area Rugbeians and spouses gathered at the San Francisco home of Michael and Julie Whitcomb, who graciously agreed to host a drinks event again this year. Fourteen Rugbeians, spanning eight decades attended from the North Bay, Peninsula and East Bay, with extra credit to Alec Hudnut who came up from Southern California. As the first event of 2024, it was an excellent opportunity to catch up and share stories old and new. Over the coming months we’re planning further events, including sailing on the bay and biking in the wine country.
