I was shocked and stunned to hear of my friend Alan's passing. It was deeply upsetting news and I have taken a few days to come to terms with it and to consider an appropriate tribute to the great contribution he made to Ayrshire chess not only as a fiercely competitive player but as a guy who loved the social aspects of the game.
Alan, we will really miss you. I don't need to tell you that there will be plenty of your pals gathered to celebrate your life in the way you enjoyed the most, we will be having a good drink and a guid blether because I am sure that's what you would have wanted.
My thoughts are with Alan's family at this sad time.
Robin.
