Hello everyone, Happy New Year :)
Some sad news to end 2009. I spoke to Chris Elliott earlier this evening and he informed me that his father Dave had passed away on Sunday. I only met Dave about 3 years ago so wouldn`t confess to knowing him as well as some of you out there in Brighton, but he was a lovely guy to talk to on the occasions we did meet.
Our condolencies go out to Pat & Chris at this sad time.

I was saddened to hear of Dave’s passing. I spent several happy years playing Dave on Saturday lunchtimes at the Romans. He pretty much showed me every shot on the table, and a few more.
I didn’t get to see Dave in his heyday, being the mid 1970’s, as this was long before I started, but I know he won the Brighton Singles, and in those days you were up against 200 players, so just winning the title once would have been an achievement, Dave managed it twice.
Rest in peace Dave, thanks for all those lessons.
