It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Gavin Masson, who served as chairman of Beaconsfield CC Juniors from 2010-13. Along with his wife Lindsey, Gavin was instrumental in reviving the juniors and laying the foundations for the thriving junior section that we see today.

Gavin had a natural ability to organise and inspire those around him and was a hugely popular and successful chairman. He successfully built and ran his own business before selling up and retiring a few years ago. When he was not working, Gavin could usually be found on the golf course. He was a member of both Beaconsfield GC and the famous Royal Dornoch club in Scotland, where he had a second home.

Despite his ongoing illness, he was an energetic and prolific fundraiser for Cancer Research. Gavin squeezed everything he could out of his last few years, showing admirable courage and remarkable resilience. He will be much missed by colleagues, friends and family. Our sincere condolences go to Lindsey and his sons Ross and Scott.
