GRAHAM BARNES
It is with great sadness and regret that I need to inform you of the sudden and unexpected death on Saturday of Graham Barnes.
Graham was a member of Bognor Rugby Club for many years and will be sadly missed by the many friends that he made. After finishing his playing career he was often to be seen at Hampshire Avenue, refereeing the lower sides and enjoying a pint in the bar afterwards.
Aged 73 Graham had enjoyed a long teaching career, including a Deputy Headship at Herbert Shiner and, more recently, at St. Philip Howard. Up until the present time he was still teaching part-time at The Littlehampton Academy where his students were shocked and upset to hear the news this morning.
I shall post details of his funeral when I know the arrangements. In the meantime our thoughts are with Pat and the rest of Graham’s family.
