Mike McKenna RIP

*

Iwan Thomas reports:

I have received the sad news that Mike McKenna died in the early hours of Sunday morning after a prolonged illness.

Although not himself a quizzer, Mike played a significant role in the DPQL, both as a committee member and as question coordinator, without whose conscientious efforts the league might have ceased to exist. He was also responsible for redrafting and updating the league’s rules.

Mike will also be remembered as a popular and scrupulous question reader, first for the Jolly Sailor and later for the Royal Oak team that included his late wife, Margaret.

He will be greatly missed.
