Peter Johnson played for the Wallabies from
1962 to 1968, captaining it in 1992. During this time he played a number of rugby tests against Kel
Tremain, and it was a pleasure, that following the death of Kel in 1992, he agreed to be
guest speaker at an event, organised by Kevyn Moore, to raise funds for the Kel
Tremain Memorial Education Trust.
The trust was established in 1992 to commemorate the
contribution Kel had made to both Rotary and the Hawke's Bay community. As an
All Black of eminent stature, Kel's impact on the rugby world was international,
so to secure an ex-Wallaby captain as speaker for the first event to build funds
for the Trust, was a great coup for the Club.
Again, the Dinner was held in the Assembly Restaurant in Hastings in
November 1992, , and following an evening of good food and wine, an auction of
memorabilia was held, including items donated by Peter Johnson. Tables
were again sold at $1000 for 10.
An amount
of about $21,000 was raised, which was
donated to the newly established Kel Tremain Memorial Education Trust.
