To comply with Martin’s wishes, his funeral was private.

His family has arranged a get together on Friday 27th January at New Brighton Cricket Club where friends and family can meet to talk about Martin and their memories of him.

The room has been booked from 1.30 p.m. until 5 p.m. and quizzers, past and present, who knew Martin and would like to attend can drop in at any time and stay for however long suits them.

New Brighton Cricket Club is in Wallasey, postcode CH45 5DE, for anyone who hasn’t previously attended.
