Colin Simpson: 1948 - 2018

We are sad to learn of the death of Colin Simpson.

Colin was a recipient of the EBU's Diamond Award in 2017 for his excellence and success over a sustained period for England's international teams. He was a Senior World and European Champion, and had represented England's Open and Senior teams in 13 World and European competitions.

His friends and team mates have described him as a great player, and a lovely man to spend time with both at, and away from, the table.

Update: His funeral is on Thursday 29th March at 11am at GreenAcres, Woodland Burials, Potkiln Lane, Jordans, HP9 2XB followed by a reception at Beaconsfield Golf Club. Everyone is welcome. No flowers. No donations.

His obituary is available here.
