It is with great sadness we have to report that Melvyn Lovegrove passed away recently at the age of 70.

Melvyn played for Kingfisher for many years before transferring to SC&P in 2018. While at Sonning Common he was always keen to attend practise sessions and in 2019/20 he captained a side which won division 4 - his team including Simon Berry, Mark Berry and Marko Madzar. 

Melvyn was known to hundreds as a player on the veterans’ circuit and as the Women’s British League and Veterans British League photographer.  [See TTE Article]

He moved to Lincolnshire in 2020 to be nearer his brother. He was a keen angler and table tennis player, both of which he continued to enjoy to the full up in Lincolnshire.

He will be sadly missed.
