I have recently been advised that Doug Tomsett passed away on Sunday 20th November. Doug was president of the Watford Table Tennis league and also acted as Chairman and President of the Hertfordshire Table Tennis County Association in later years. Doug was also a very active participant in the success of the Barnet Table Tennis Club.
For my part I have extremely fond memories of evening coaching sessions at Kingham Hall (St. John's Road) on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in my junior years where Doug and Malcolm Waller spent countless hours coaching us youngsters how to play our beloved game.
Doug lived life to the full and Table Tennis was an important component in his life. Easily recognisable with his unusual Penhold grip playing style, I believe he lifted the Watford Mens championship title in what was a full and distinguished playing career.
I am sure you will share with me in expressing our deepest sympathies to Margaret, Doug's bereaved wife and their family at this difficult time. The funeral is to be help at Watford Crematorium 11:40 on Tuesday 29th November. The family have requested no flowers or donations be sent.
