"Here are the details for Mark’s funeral – these are provisional at the moment as the post mortem is yet to be done. My mother did consider holding the service in Edinburgh but as she herself only got out of hospital on Tuesday following a fall several weeks ago and is in her eighties she decided it was wiser to hold it in our home town of Kirkcaldy. We realise this makes it much harder for people from Edinburgh to attend but do hope some folks from Edinburgh Chess Club can manage.
The service will be held on Friday 17th August at 2.15pm and will be held in the service room of ‘Crosbie Matthew Funeral Directors’, 199 Nicol Street, Kirkcaldy, KY1 1TF (parking is in surrounding streets). After the service there will be a very short ‘family-only’ committal at the local crematorium – those who attend the service are invited to gather at the Victoria Hotel, 28 Victoria Road, KY1 1DS for refreshments and the family will join them there after the committal."
John Sanderson (Mark's brother).
Anyone intending to be there please contact the Edinburgh C.C. president, Neil Berry: (<!-- e --><a href="mailto:thebalernobull@hotmail.com">thebalernobull@hotmail.com</a><!-- e -->) so that the family can know the approximate numbers.
Thanks, David Archibald
