The Welsh Correspondence Chess Federation extends best wishes to our good friend and international member, Phill Beckett, who recently suffered a heart attack.  Phill is the ICCF National Delegate for England, member of the British Tri-Nations Committee, member of the ICCF Arbitration Committee, and a well known personality in correspondence chess.

He is currently recovering at home, and we send him our best regards and hope for a speedy recovery.  We look forward to seeing him again at the next ICCF Congress in Amsterdam.
