SAD NEWS OF ALLEN WILLIAMS

We have learnt the sad news that one of our senior members of Felixstowe Scribblers, Allen Williams, passed away on Thursday last. Allen, who had been ill for a long time, was staying with one of his daughters in his beloved homeland Wales.

A tremendous character with a very special sense of humour, Allen's wealth of stories based on both personal experience and creativity ensured great interest and amusement at Scribblers.

A Welsh rugby fan and a former rum bosun in the Royal Navy, Allen was a published writer in several Technical Journals. A master of mirth with a love of dialogue, Allen first attended Felixstowe Scribblers about five years ago and was a popular contributor to the Anthology with his play "Rabbits".

There is a special chair in Felixstowe Library that Allen used whenever he was able to attend, a poignant reminder of a such a lovely character.

Allen will be missed.

Rest in Peace.

Dave and the Scribblers.
