Very sad news indeed. I remember Peter well ! A cheerful chap with a quick wit and a quicker smile. I joined the club as a young lad of 17 in the early 70’s and Peter was one of several who were revered by the youngsters of yesteryear. It doesn’t seem that long ago having a pint or two with the Uplands men in the vivs in sketty, chief amongst them Mr Peter Griffin. RIP good man!
