Obituary – Dennis Beckett “With deep sadness Greenlands CC report the passing of Dennis Beckett, President and founder member of the original St. James Club, in early June after a long and plucky fight against cancer. A sterling example of his generation, brought up in World War 2, he was a robust yet likeable character with a good sense of humour and a keen interest in the game of chess and in encouraging others, especially younger players (notably Keith Arkell, now a G.M.). Dennis's forte was organisation and under his leadership St. James was one of the largest and strongest clubs around, competing in BDCL, Worcester County and District leagues, winning several trophies and one year achieving the “triple”. When he finally laid down the baton he was voted life membership and became our first President. His stalwart presence will be sorely missed”.

There have been many achievements during 2007/08. The endorsement of the Phase One Revision to the West Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy, which recognises Brierley Hill as a strategic centre in the Black Country, represents a significant milestone for Dudley Borough and will enable development plans to go ahead for more shops, leisure facilities, offices and housing. In terms of the Borough’s overall economic situation, although Dudley’s position is ahead of its neighbouring authorities in the Black Country in a number of areas – including employment, business formations and unemployment – it still lags behind regional and national performance levels.
