Tim Bateman: In Memoriam

On Monday 20th May 2024 we received the sad news of the death of our friend and member Tim Bateman. Tim passed away in his garden at his home in Drybrook after he had been mowing the lawn. We shall all miss Tim greatly – he was a long standing and loyal member of the Forest of Dean Chess Club. His family have informed us that there will not be a formal funeral service, matters are being taken care of by Pure Cremation, although it is anticipated that there will be a gathering in the future to celebrate Tim’s life.

Below follows a selection of images and recollections of Tim in action! Do contact us at The Forest of Dean Chess Club to add your own contributions and tributes.
