The sad news that Geoff passed away at the weekend has been received. It is understood he died suddenly at Macclesfield Hospital.
Geoff had been the secretary at Macclesfield Chess Club for many years, guiding the club through a number of venue moves and captaining the club's team in the NSDCA.
When funeral details are known they will be published along with a fuller tribute.
All clubs, players and friends of the NSDCA will join me in sending condolences to his widow Lesley and his family and friends.
