It is with great sadness that I have to announce that our President, Tony Chatwin, died last Monday evening.  He had been ill for some time, though recently he had seemed to be on the mend. He was a great servant to table tennis, not only in Derby but in the whole country, and was honoured last year with the Presidents Memorial Award by Table Tennis England for his services to the game.  This is the top award that TTE give out and reflects how much Tony was appreciated in the game.

I know you will all wish to join with me in sending our condolences to Pat and his family.  When we have details of the funeral arrangements I will let you all know.
