Dave Nick sadly passed away on Sunday 19th February. He will be remembered as one of the most naturally talented players in the North West.
Dave represented Lancashire at the Counties for many years and was one of the few players in the North West to successfully complete a sextuple peel.
His partner Pamela has informed us that Dave requested a “pure cremation”, so there will be no funeral or memorial service.
One of the most fun players on the circuit. His kindness and willingness to offer advice will never be forgotten.
An exciting new event designed to give club players throughout Europe the opportunity to play abroad
and also to find the Champion club team in Europe.
The winners of 6 Qualifying Stages will compete in the Grand Final to be held at the prestigious
Roehampton Club, London (England) 13-15th October 2023.
Each qualifying stage will consist of 4 teams of 4 players, who will all play each other over the course
of a single weekend. The first Qualifying Stage was held at the Algarve Club (Portugal) in November
