RIP Derek Roberts and Malcolm Webster

27 June 202028 December 2020
Penguin members

We have received sad news about two former Club members.

Derek Roberts

Past President Derek Roberts passed away on 18 June 2020 following a stroke.

Derek joined Penguin Swimming Club, as it was then called, in the 1950s and was an active water polo player for many years. He became Club Captain in 1972 and in later years he served on the Committee and was Club President for three years from 1993.

Members who knew Derek remember his kind and calm nature while supporting the running of the Club, and his guardianship of Penguin history and traditions.

Derek will be missed by his many Penguin friends and we send our thoughts and best wishes to his wife Jan and his family.

 

Malcolm Webster

Malcolm Webster passed away from Coronavirus COVID-19 on 16 April 2020.

Malcolm played for the Club during the 1970s. His strength was swimming rather than water polo and he competed at County and National level. He was a bright, lively fun loving character who will be sadly missed.

Our condolences to his wife Hilary and his family.
