John Sturrock (1 November 1880 - 6 May 1940) was a Scottish rugby union player. He became an international rugby union referee. He later became the 52nd President of the Scottish Rugby Union.

Rugby Union career

Amateur career

Sturrock played for Royal HSFP. In a Royal High Sports Day in 1898, he won the 300 yards dash with a time of 33 and 1/5 seconds.

Referee career

Sturrock referred in the Border League in 1906.

He refereed in the Scottish Unofficial Championship in 1914 and in 1929.

Sturrock refereed the 1921 England versus Wales match; and the France versus England match that same year. In 1922, he refereed the Wales versus Ireland match.

Administrative career

He was a committee member of Royal HSFP in 1909.

He gave a speech in 1927 on behalf of the Scottish Rugby Union at the Edinburgh Borderers rugby club dinner on the scarcity of referees in Scotland.  He stated it was nearly 25 years since he had become a referee and he would likely continue this until he dropped dead on the field. He was nearer 50 than 40. He urged players on the edge of retiring from the game to take up refereeing. In his experience those retiring players tried refereeing for a few weeks and then dropped it. He stated that clubs would try to take advantage of a young referee. He advised those inexperienced referees to take charge of the game in the first 5 minutes and this should prevent trouble for the rest of the match.

He was appointed Vice-President of the Scottish Rugby Union in 1930.

He was President of the Scottish Rugby Union for the period 1931 to 1932.

He was elected a Special Representative of the SRU in 1933.

Outside of rugby

Sturrock was a solicitor. His father, Thomas Sturrock was also a solicitor and also on the Dalkeith Town Council. His father died and Sturrock took over his father's business alongside his brother with the name T. & J. C. Sturrock.

He was appointed his father's successor on the Dalkeith Town Council.

He was made Justice of the Peace on 22 March 1939.

Death

Sturrock died in an Edinburgh Nursing Home. In the month prior he was advised to take a rest from his duties by his doctor; and was admitted to the nursing home only a week before his death.

Bedara Vesha is a folk dance performed days before Holi night in Sirsi town of Karnataka. It is also known as ‘Hunter Dance’. People of Sirsi celebrate Holi with this unique folk dance every alternate year. It attracts a large crowd from different parts of the state on all the five days of Holi.

How is it done?
The Hunter Dance is practiced for months before the actual performance. The artists are donned with peacock feathers, mustache, cotton and red cloth, fruits, shield and sword.
Two ropes are tied to the belly of the performer and two people will hold the ropes to his back of that gigantic bundle of peacock feathers, depicting to stop the Malleshi from killing the people who come in his place. The dance will be supported by the hand drum(Tamate) players to give a rhythm to the dance. The Hunter Dance performer starts from his local street and goes on performing to the various locations of the Sirsi town overnight. The concluding part of the dance will be at the Shri Marikamba Temple. The dancer performs at his complete rage there. He again starts performing in the other locations of the Sirsi town till the daylight.

There are multiple performers. Each area there will be one person who will represent and dance throughout the city. There are some designated place where the dance will be in full form and each performers will visit those designated place once. It is also said that one dancer isn’t supposed to look at the other face to face.

Popular places where it can be found
Bedara Vesha is performed in the Sirsi town of Karnataka. Another folk dance called ‘Dollu Kunitha’ is also performed during Bedara Vesha.

Modern form
Nearly 50 solo artists’ perform the hunter dance with whistle blowers and a troupe of drum beaters. In modern times various performances will be going on the streets along with The Hunter Dance.

The keteriya is a form of battle axe that was used in ancient Sri Lanka. A keteriya would consist of a single edge and a short handle made of wood, traditionally resembling a hatchet with a straight shaft. This would allow the user to wield it with a single hand. Commonly used as a weapon and a tool, it is still common in rural villages. Legend has it that it was the preferred weapon of the famous warrior King Gajabahu the First; as such it is part of the cap badge of the Gajaba Regiment of the Sri Lanka Army.
