It is with sadness that we report the death of Brian Bates. Brian was a loyal member of the MQL. Although he rarely played, he was a regular QP and assisted with administration in both Warrington QL and MQL. He was a regular attender of Council meetings and continued to support the Leagues as he had his late wife Elaine in her quizzing and during her Presidency of the MQL. Brian was a serving Vice-President of the MQL. Our sincere condolences go his son Robert and all the family. The funeral will be at Howe Bridge Crematorium near Leigh, M46 0PZ on Tuesday 2nd April at 3pm.
