Bill Yeomans

Post by Simon Rogers » Tue Apr 12, 2022 10:38 am

I am sorry to inform you that Olton Chess Club Life President, Bill Yeomans, passed away a few weeks ago, aged 94.
Bill had played for the club since the mid 1960s and only stopped playing a few years ago due to ill health.
In 1995, Bill was elected club Life President.
Bill's funeral will take place at Yardley Crematorium, on Thursday 14th April at 10.45am.
Yardley Road, South Yardley, Birmingham, B25 8NA.
Then back to Tyseley Working Mens Club (Olton's venue).
573 Warwick Road, Tyseley, Birmingham, B11 2EX (approx. 12 noon).
There is a lengthy tribute on the Birmingham & District Chess League website:

RIP
