It is with deep sadness and regret that I have to announce that former SPA President Byron Milton passed away on Wednesday 27th March.

In a playing career which spanned well over three decades Byron achieved countless titles  in Scotland and further afield, a regular place in the Scotland squad and was one of the most successful players in Scottish petanque’s history. One of petanque’s most memorable characters, he will be sorely missed by all.

On behalf of the SPA I would like to pass on our deepest sympathy to his wife Sandra and all his club mates and friends at the Birds & Bees.

Colin Stewart, President
