We are deeply saddened, devastated and shocked to hear of the sudden and unexpected passing of our NBRFC Chair, Steve Bold.
A fantastic servant to the club for all of his life, Steve started in our junior section and went on to play over 500 games for the senior club, captaining the men’s 2nd team and 1st team as Club Captain.
He went on to coach in both the boys and girls sections, and held many roles as a volunteer: Junior Chair, Director of Rugby, Club Secretary, before finally becoming our Club Chair, where he brought the club together and helped set a vision of “rugby for all” at North Bristol RFC.
Steve worked tirelessly to drive continual improvement, making a constant positive impact on the club and everyone in and around it. He was there every week, supporting every team alongside his Wife Sharmaine. They were always present, from the Unicorns through to our senior sides.
He always had time for anyone, often over a pint and would happily talk about rugby, the club, the Bears, or anything else. He listened, he cared, and he offered advice.
A huge Bristol Bears fan and a well respected member of the wider rugby community, he often appeared on local radio talking about all things rugby. He was a true gent in both his approach and manner.
We have all learned so much from him, and in such a short time the messages that have come flooding in paint a clear picture of a true club person! Kind, supportive, always there for anyone, and someone who loved his club and the wider rugby community.
A wonderful husband to Sharmaine and an amazing dad to Kaiya and Ellis.
We are all thinking of his family at this incredibly sad and difficult time. As always, the NBRFC family will rally around and offer all the support possible.
Steve made such a hugely positive and lasting impact on so many. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to call him a player, coach, chair, friend….Boldy.
Forever in our hearts 💙❤️
