I am sorry to inform you that Alan Marshall passed away earlier this year.
Alan was born in 1938 and was a stalwart of Harrow Chess Club in London.
There is a picture of Alan on the homepage of the Harrow Chess Club website.

RIP

Sorry to hear this. I had extensive contact with him during his time as Thames Valley League secretary and always found it a pleasure.

This is sad news to hear. Like Richard, I knew Alan through his long-standing role as Secretary of the Thames Valley League (I am not sure when he started and ended his discharging of that role). He was a kindly soul, and always unfailingly efficient when I sent in match results to him. RIP Alan, and thank you for all you did for chess.
