John Corson

We are sad to announce the death of John Corson, who for many years was a regular player at Bath BC. Our condolences go to his wife Judy and their family.

At service to celebrate John's life will be held at Haycombe Crematorium on Friday November 11th at 1.45 pm. This will be followed by afternoon tea at the Priory Hotel. If you wish to join Judy and her family at the Priory, please email Marion Loudoun (mloudoun@aol.com) so that numbers are known in advance.

Bridge weekend in Paignton
Bridge weekend in Paignton

Members will have been contacted by email about our planned bridge weekend in Paignton next autumn: Friday 27 - Sunday 29 October 2017.

If you're interested and haven't yet replied, please contact me as soon as possible (by 26 October at the latest). Please note that friends from other local clubs are welcome, and if you don't have a partner it may be possible to help you find one.

There is no commitment at this state but it's important that you register your interest now so that we can book the hotel.
