A piece from Brixham Chairman, Brian Pengelly
I first got to know Geoff when he first contacted me by phone saying he was thinking of moving down to the West Country and wanted to know how strong table tennis was in this area. That is an indication of how important to him table tennis was, and remained so, for all the years I was fortunate enough to know him. He became passionate about Brixham Table Tennis Club and became ‘Mr Dependable’, the ‘Rock’ of the club. If there was ever any problem with maintenance, or a player was needed to help out a team for a match in a higher division Geoff was ‘the man’. Even when he was not playing in a match for his team he would always be there to support his team-mates. Not only was he popular in his club, he was also highly thought of and respected throughout the league. He will be greatly and sadly missed.
