I am sorry to inform you that Len Skinner of Bridgend Chess Club, East Glamorgan passed away over the weekend of 6th-7th March 2022.
Len was a long serving member of Bridgend Chess Club.
RIP
Apologies, but I am not sure if this is the same Leonard Skinner that wrote the chess book "Alexander Alekhine's Chess Games, 1902-1946" with the Dutch person, Robert G.P. Verhoeven.
Perhaps someone can help with this.
Len Skinner

I couldn't find anything in my copy, but it seems this must be the same person.
