Huw Morgan RIP

Post by Stewart Holden »

Huw Morgan, series champion in 1997, passed away this morning.

He had contracted swine flu at Christmas and had been in intensive care for a couple of weeks due to
complications. He was only 54. Huw was an active Scrabble player for many years and will be sadly missed by all.
