John is one of the team on this trip. Never met him before, wasn’t sure who he was so did a google (that’s for you matt!) and found out he lived in the valley.So there I was playing interclub two weeks before I was heading out. Played a guy named Bruce from Shandon. Got to talking re jobs etc and I explained my plans for spending some time in Qatar. His response … you going with John, he’s our club captain…one degree. So get to the airport and see a guy checking in with clubs. Put two and two together and sure enough I approach him at the baggage claim and meet John. So I’m sharing this story on six degrees with John and Damian over a drink waiting to board the plane. The conversation gets to some reference to Greymouth (I think we were originally talking roads) and John indicates his connection with the place. I explained my dad came from that way and that my grandfather was a lawyer there as well the family ran the totes at the Greymouth races. John’s reply was “yeah they were manual totes and your grandfather ran the totes right up the coast. Two degrees.
