We were extremely sorry to hear of the passing of Neil Ferguson earlier this month.
Neil was a competitor in the League back in the earliest years with The Star Inn at Roby Mill. Several years later he came back to Quizzing in the Orrell league with The Hare and Hounds Pemberton. Last year he rejoined again with Highfield CH
Always a strong Quizzer, Neil had particular expertise in Ornithology and all forms of Pop and Rock music….especially the latter!
The League extends sincere condolences to Jackie and their daughters and to his friends and colleagues at Highfield Community Hall
Neil’s funeral will be held on Monday 16th February at 12.00 at St Matthews Church, Billinge Road Pemberton WN3 6BL
Any league members wishing to attend are prompted by the family to dress informally and stress that ‘Band T Shirts’ Football or Hawaiian shirts are all within the dress code
