Hi - this is Sir Roger's son, Aaron, here. There are a couple of errors with this page I'd like to see corrected. Firstly, Dad was born in October 1942. Secondly, the collection of cricket memorabilia was donated by me, not by Dad, as the collection came into my possession in the early 2010s, and included a philanthropic gift to Auckland Cricket to make it happen. Lastly, it may be helpful to note that he divested his stake in Noel Leeming in 1999 to interests associated with Eric Watson (businessman).

It might also help to note some of his philanthropic activities in supporting The NZ Breast Cancer Foundation and Diabetes NZ, given reference to his philanthropy in the Honours paragraph.

There is also a minor typo error, where "reference 1" is missing a 'g' from the word 'young'.

I am happy to make the changes, but thought it appropriate to invite Paora or someone else to do so first.

I've made some changes in line with available references. Please note Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, so Aaron, best if you have further changes that you make suggestions here on the talk page with references that can be checked by other editors who can then make the changes if supported by the references.

122.60.82.177 (talk) 17:25, 6 December 2020 (UTC) Many thanks for the changes and advice above. There is one other thing that is perhaps worthy of inclusion on Dad's page, and that was his ownership of a McLaren F1 road car (chassis XP4) which he owned from 1994 to 2000. The car was, at the time, the fastest production car in the world, and was the first of its kind to arrive in New Zealand. I'll leave that to you and others to decide if that should be added, but it was quite noteworthy when it arrived in NZ. Aaron Bhatnagar, Auckland NZ.[reply]

Hi there, this is Aaron Bhatnagar, son of Sir Roger. Please note that my father passed away 7 November 2022. You can confirm on the family website here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.61.73.228 (talk) 01:32, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
