Roy Barclay
MGAGB are sad to announce the death of Roy Barclay on Saturday June 28th. Roy had fought a long battle with leukaemia but lost his brave fight on Saturday.
The address for sympathy cards or messages is The Great Barn, Dunstall Common, Earls Croome, Worcester, England WR8 9DF.
Many will remember Roy as the chief referee for MGAGB for many years. Roy was the main referee for the World Team Championships at Fontwell in 2002 and refereed many World Individual and Pairs Championships.
He will be greatly missed by all in MGAGB and we send our love and sympathy to his widow, Mo, and family.
The funeral is on Wednesday 9th July at Worcester Crematorium.
