Rugby memorabilia... in real life !

Now, it's serious...

It's no longer about collecting rugby pictures on my own, nor bringing bribes of rugby history online... rugby-pioneers.com is now getting public... "in real life" as you say on the net...

First, I will be a speaker during a two-days conference organised by Sciences Po, one of the most reknown university in Paris, next October 11th and 12th. The conference - partly in French and in English - will discuss various aspects of rugby history around the world. As of myself, I will give a 1h lecture based on pictures (and possibly old movies, if I can arrange it...)... no more details today, I don't have any clue of how I am going to package this !

The program of the conference is here. Access is free, but register first at [e-mail]

Venue : Sciences Po, 56 rue des Saints-Pères 75007 Paris, salle Goguel

Second, I have provided most of the iconography to an exhibition named "Rugby : les Années Folles 1890-1930" hosted by Societe Generale (Societe Generale - one of the main sponsors of RWC - has been supporting rugby since... 1904, their coporate team CASG used to be a major team in the 20s). You'll find there pictures, stories and some memorabilia... inside a wonderful XIX century building located closed to the Opera House.

Some details (in French) here... or drop me mail for further questions !

Entrance is free (Monday - Friday) from 9 am to 5.45pm (untill November 3d)

Venue : Societe Generale 29 bd Haussmann 75009 Paris

You're all welcome !
