The passing of a Ponteland Rugby Club Legend

The passing of a Ponteland Rugby Club Legend

Andy Lawson6 Oct 2020 - 11:04

It is with great sadness that we have to convey the news of the passing of Wesley (Wes) Dixon on Monday 5th October 2020 peacefully at home.

Wes was an unforgettable character and such a dear friend of so many people, particularly within the rugby communities of Ponteland Rugby Club and Northumberland Rugby Union.

He will be missed by so many people who were fortunate enough to have known him and privileged enough to call him a friend.

Out thoughts and prayers are with his wife Carol and his three sons, Daniel, Oliver and Jake.
