Lawrence Farrington 1952-2026
Sadly we have learned that long time club member Lawrence Farrington passed away at the end of May. Lawrence was a very regular competitor, rarely missing a night. He was very passionate about his chess and always gave 100%. He was also one of a kind, a real character who will be greatly missed.
