CS Newsletter

Combined Services Newsletter

Started in 1981 by USAF Col (Dr) Harry Laws, the Newsletter initially went out to a few military rugby contacts and over the years peaked out at about 3000 copies going to military ruggers world wide. As the costs grew, our national governing body (USA Rugby Football Union) gave us a budget to support the military committee and with it, the newsletter. In 1992, that funding ceased and in May the Committee turned to Ed Haggerty, Editor of Rugby Magazine, who gave us space for a column. That lasted for a few more years and then fell into disuse. The magazine eventually quit publishing as the internet grew and replaced many print companies. The Newsletter experience served as the main communication vehicle for military rugby at a time before and during implementation of email and robust internet usage. USA rugby thought our experience worthy of a presentation during their 1994 Club Administrators' Conference
