It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of Mr Ivan Roberts. Ivan passed away yesterday in Sobell House after losing his fight against cancer.
Ivan played for many years at the Lord Napier and the Reform Club and has been the President for Oxford Bar Billiards Association over the last few years.
He will be sadly missed by his many friends.

I've just read this and am very sorry to hear the news. I played in the same team as Ivan for a year at the Napier and he WAS a lovely chap and one of the original famous five of Pete Wells, Ron Webber, Alan Sales, Ivan Roberts and Pete Kitchen who were such a force in Oxford and the Inter Area competitions. Several of Ivan's family played the game and they were all pretty good... Ivan's death will be a great loss to Oxford and all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him - his approach to the game was one that is sorely missing in BB today.
Tony
