This now long disbanded club, was prominent in the early days of rugby union and was one of the twenty one founding clubs of the Rugby Football Union. The club had been founded by three Old Tonbridgians and was ostensibly an unofficial Old Boys club for Tonbridge School. However, J V Brewer was elected to the initial committee of the Gipsies in 1868 at the age of just fifteen and he was also the only committee member to not hail from Tonbridge School. Brewer later was selected to play for England, and made his only international appearance on 13 December 1875 at Rathmines, Dublin in the Ireland vs England match.[1] England were victorious on this occasion.[1] He was later appointed by the RFU in 1878 as one of seven men to review and revise the laws of rugby.
