It was during a spell of 90 days’ leave in the UK that John met Robina. They married in December that year after a whirlwind romance and headed out to India. And a petition – which currently has over 43,000 signatures– has also been launched to help fund continued access to these drugs which could be a lifeline for people with cystic fibrosis. In her leisure time, Ruby did voluntary work and attended Dorothy Dobson’s exercise classes at Dundee University. She always displayed huge amounts of positivity and kindness both to her close friends and to those she met and interacted with. I have a passion for criminal law that I developed through the Diploma and from observing the law in practice during internships. Such is her passion for the field, she plans to study law further through a traineeship or even a doctorate.

Robina left school and began work in a shop and when war broke out she was called up to work in a ball-bearing factory in Dundee and rose to a senior quality control position. War yearsNot many of us gain a postgraduate degree with distinction. Still fewer of us play top-flight sport. Robina Noble, one of the longest surviving Dundonians to have lived in India during the jute period, has died aged 102. The move has prompted a number of parents across the country, whose children have cystic fibrosis, to urge health bosses to reconsider their initial decision, which is based on cost. During my two years playing for AUWRFC we reached the BUCS cup final twice, winning once, and I count this medal among my proudest achievements.
However, while completing the diploma, I decided on further study at the university after becoming enamoured with the campus, extracurricular opportunities, and the academic rigour offered by Aberdeen University. NICE and SMC are currently holding a four-week consultation – which finishes this Friday – before deciding if the three drugs will continue to be offered to new patients. Robina, known as Ruby, was born in Lochee in February 1921 to plumber and gas fitter Robert Moyes and his wife, Isabella, nee Jarvis. John had been in India since 1935 where he learned Hindi, Urdu and spoke a bit of Bengali. During the war he was commissioned in the British Army and had a period seconded to the Indian Army.
