On behalf of Westfield Table Tennis Club, it is my sad duty to report the death of Adrian Roper.

Adrian was an integral part of the Junior coaching setup at Westfield, helping coach a range of abilities, from Beginner to County standard. He was always thinking about table tennis and loved nothing more than sharing his accumulated knowledge with everyone at the Club. Seeing individuals progress and develop gave him real joy.

His death is a huge loss to Westfield and the wider table tennis community, but an even bigger loss to his immediate family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace.
