It was with great sadness that we heard of the recent passing of Billy Goldie. Billy was Club President for some 20 years circa 1973 to 1993 and he was the clubs’ link to the local press. He was integral to DTTC building its current premises in Shakespeare Street in 1988, and helped to make it the first purpose-built table tennis club in the country. Without him, the club would not be what it is today – still with one of the best table tennis facilities in Scotland.
Billy had great support from his family, and his daughter played in her youth and again after having a family. Outside table tennis, he was an ardent Queen of the South fan, loved his gardening and had a wry sense of humour! He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
