If you read this in time, then watch Australian Story at 8pm for a program on Nugget Rees. It's a great tale.

Lovely episode.

there was some really nice vision in the rooms - a real insight, notwithstanding the nugget factor.

Did they tell the story as to why Nugget has to wear batting gloves in the rooms? They try to say it's because he claps his hands too loud, but there's another reason :)

The thing about Nugget is, if you ever meet him, he's a pretty decent guy. However, if you shake him by the hand, it's like shaking hands with a sponge. He has the wettest hands imaginable. And Nugget loves to shake hands, so that is why he is asked to wear gloves.
