Now for our Guest Speaker…..Clue #6. Born in Bermuda. He was deemed as a great “guinea pig” for Tetley Tea inventor, Oak Bay Wanderers, Dr Don Burlap. He went on to score 227 points during a span of 29 International Caps. In one match against Scotland, he landed a record eight penalties! Having said this, the rumour comes from some quarters that the “cat is out of the bag”!   Mark the Spark/’Sparky’/The Great One, ‘Gretzky’ Wyatt (depending with who and when he was graced on the pitch), dual RWC Rep; 9 years RC Sevens Team; dual ‘World XV’ (1988, 89) and Barbaas (1990) Rep, are just a few of the honours Mark earned in his expansive rugby career, highlighted by a decade-long National Team span, although he never was on a B.C. Premiership winning team!! Mark was recently inducted to the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, just another accolade to add to his long memory bank of achievements. A noted humorist, wrestler and prankster, we are honored to welcome him to the House of Windsor, as our guest, after-dinner speaker on Saturday.
