John Tolman was a well-known and important gentleman in the history of Exmouth Rugby Club. In the early 1900s the club, then located at Cranford on Salterton Road, was in crisis and close to folding. Tolman, along with three other members, became the 'saviours' of Exmouth Rugby Club, putting all their efforts into rebuilding the club and following an amalgamation with Exmouth Echoes there was an upturn in fortunes with the club dominating rugby in the area over the following decades. Members of the Holman family have been instrumental in the running of the club over the preceding years.
