Sadly I have heard today of the passing of Ron Child, a true stalwart of Billingshurst Bar Billiards :(

Ron was my first opponent when I turned out for The Norfolk @ The Windmill (Three Bees) and we got to play each other many times since, honors even I think!

I and I am sure many will miss Ron and pass on condolences to his Family!

It seemed the whole village turned out, and amongst the hordes I counted 20 from bar billiards.
