Braunstone Chess Club

In memory of John Impey - from John Oliver

An exceptional final season, with a twist in the tail.

John's last league match in 2011 was at home to Syston, on a Tuesday,
and when John didn't turn up at the civic centre, i phoned his home number.
His wife answered and said he had gone to Syston, who also played on a Tuesday.
She gave me his mobile number and luckily, i was able to contact him,
to say he had until 8.15pm to get over to the civic centre and start his game.
John beat the deadline by a few minutes and the rest is history.

John never played again and he died on 17th October 2011.
