Dear All
Very sadly Alan Shaw suffered a major heart attack a couple of weeks ago.
The family have been told that if he pulls through there appears to be major brain damage.
Our thoughts are with Alan and his family.

Yes Keith, it is the same Alan Shaw.... I believe that the previous news that he had died was incorrect however the future does not look promising.  |

I am sorry Keith but I have not been informed of his death only what I relayed, that is what I relayed to Nipper, BFG is his dad and as West Sussex Chair he may know more here than me.
I think the more important part is our thoughts with the family.
Chris

Sadly, I have heard today that Alan did pass away on Wednesday 14th October.
A top quality player and a true gentleman, he will be missed by many.
RIP Alan.

I was kindly told today re Alan's death on the 14th. Truly very,  . We are both thinking of the family and know that they are going through a very difficult and somewhat surreal time. May we ask to be told of any arrangements. RIP - Chris and Chris |

I do need to publicly apologise for the original post
This was information relayed to me by someone very close to Alan
However it was premature....or perhaps misunderstood
I would have liked to believe that no distress was caused to Jean however I know that it was...
Alan's funeral was on the 4th November
A massive turn out from the world of Bar Billiards saying goodbye to a fantastic bloke
I really don't think I can remember a time he wasn't smiling (even when he was hiding it just a little bit) an incredibly welcoming guy to any newbies as HRP and I remember very clearly
A real beacon of the game and all round good guy
