Brian Place (Avogadro1) RIP

We are deeply saddened to report the sudden passing of our regular member and good friend Brian Place from Galway. Avogadro1 entertained us at the end of each night with his skillful command of the English language where he resurrected unusual words and put them together like a wordsmith to form alliterations and rhymes to compliment the tournament directors with his elloquent musical poetry. We also remember Brian for his friendly and courteous manner at the table. He was the consummate charmer.

We extend our deepest sympathies to his daughter Fiona and all his family. May he Rest in Peace.
