LW 26: Kelvin Bryon - a podcast by London Welsh RFC

This weeks' guest is former benefactor, President, Chairman and current Life Member; Kelvin Bryon. Kelvin joined London Welsh as President in 1994 and remained actively involved with the club until 2016 when his wife's ill health meant he had to step away from London Welsh.  Kelvin's investment, meant that the club went from Level 5 to the Premiership in 15 years and was always there to ensure that London Welsh were solvent when many a potential other investor fell by the wayside. This is the first interview Kelvin has given since the Premiership days and he is very honest about RFU funding, professionalism, EPQ challenges, The Championship, Neil Hollinshead & Trevor Owen-Shaw saga.  He was overwhelmed with the amount of cards and e mails received from the London Welsh family when his wife passed away in May 2020 and demonstrates what the club really meant to him and Pat across the years.  Sit down, relax with a cuppa and hear from the great man who realised the ambition of getting London Welsh to the pinnacle of English rugby and what it took to get there.
This interview was recorded, socially distanced in Kelvin's garden,  hence a few outside noise affects like the wind and some nearby builders. This doesn't take away from the opportunity to hear from someone who has put his own hand in his pocket for 20 years to give our players and supporters, memories and friendships they would never of had, without Kelvin's amazing generosity.  Thank you also to POMODO podcasts for helping with the sound editing.
