Round 5 results

Round 5, held on Tuesday 9th December 2008, started with a minute’s silence for IM Bob Wade of Athenaeum, who had sadly passed away since round 4. His club captain, Stephen Walsh, also said a few words in moving tribute.

Dave Chambers kindly continued his splendid Christmas tradition of bringing a bottle of whisky to round 5 for everyone to share: appropriately, he had found one produced by a distillery just a few miles from where Bob was born in New Zealand. Thanks Dave!

RIP Bob Wade, 1921-2008

andrew — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 19:29:12 +0000

It is with great sadness that we note the recent passing of IM Bob Wade at the age of 87. Bob was a regular player in the LBCL right up to the time of his death, and we will all miss this unique, kind-hearted and brilliant man, whose contribution to our game was so extraordinary.

We can, however, draw solace from the fact that Bob enjoyed a long life, and remained mentally sharp and able to play the game he loved until the end. Rest in peace, Bob.

Welcome!
