BOBBATH 466 Posted December 25, 2020 Well another on the list has sadly passed #9 Rune S., so Brian Crutcher moves up from first reserve. Not sure if I saw Rune ride-will have to check my programs. Sad to hear. R.I.P. Rune Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOBBATH 466 Posted December 30, 2020 Barry Briggs must be moving up to second reserve soon-he was born in December 1934. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,098 Posted February 13, 2021 Very sorry to have to bring this up, but does Olle Nygren's sad death mean that Mike Broadbank moves into the Top 16? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerowl 630 Posted February 14, 2021 Sorry to see Olle Nygren depart from this illustrious club. I'm not sure about the dates of birth of Olle Andersson and Ulf Ericsson, or if they are still with us but I think they were born about 1933. This is the oldest 20 World Finalists with the two Swedes included.
