| Death of MARY TAYLORSON |
It is with sadness that we record the death, on 11th February 2008, of Mary Taylorson (nee Gibson) at the age of 84 years. Until recent times Mary was a regular attender at the Club and during more than 25 years of membership, she won a number of the Club Trophies. Mary had many interests and in particular had held prominence in ladies' golf at both local and county level. Our thoughts are with her family. |
