Sad News from Leyfield Crown

Message from Karen McDonald

It is my sad duty to tell you that Danny Quinn died this morning. He had been unwell for a while and had been in hospital.

Danny played for Leyfield Crown for many years and was Liverpool Quiz League Results Secretary from 2002 to 2008.

He will be sadly missed. The team has agreed to play their fixture tonight in his memory.

I will pass on details of his funeral when they are known.

May he Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory.

Sad News from CI Edwardians

Message from Bernie Hynes

I received the following notice from Bernie Hynes C I Edwardians Secretary this evening;

 

C.I.Edwardians sadly wish to announce the death of their long-standing question-master Malcolm Bowstead (“Mal”).

He passed away peacefully on Wednesday at the age of 89.

He was never a quizzer himself but presided over the C.I. for many years as QM (with his mate Dud) and will be best remembered for using his gavel to bring proceedings to order.

 

He will be greatly missed.
