4-Jan 2008 Roy "Pemby" Pemberton
It is with deep regret that I have to report the passing of Roy Pemberton on Friday 4th January. Funeral arrangements are as follows: Friday 11th Jan, Overdale Crematorium, 11:45am, returning to Bolton Rugby Club for about 12.30pm. There will be refreshments available and the bar will be open.
Roy had been a club member for over 35 years, and held the position of Hon Sec for many years. After finishing his playing career, Roy refereed many Club games, dispensing his own brand of humour. In one confrontational game, he advised the captains “Gentleman you either play rugby or I will play a concerto on this whistle !” He was also one of the (few) referees to send our President off. Ray was also a classical music lover, a keen bridge player and had a natty collection of cravats.
The club sends its deepest sympathies to his wife, Susan.
