 David Harrison - update |
We are very sad to announce that David Harrison died recently. It is understood that he died peacefully at home, although the cause of death is not yet known.
Dave was a very fine Bridge player — a Grand Master who had a lot of success locally and nationally. Just a few weeks ago, Dave was in a team which came second in the Northern Easter Festival at Harrogate. He also won the Cumbria County Pairs this year with Gillian Whyte, and was a member of the Kendal NICKO Team.
Dave was always a generous partner and a gracious opponent, and his quiet charm will be greatly missed.
Dave's funeral will be 2:00pm on Friday May 17th at Beetham Hall Crematorium - his family would be delighted for all of Dave's friends to attend if able, and afterwards at Castle Green. The service will be streamed (https://watch.obitus.com with the username: zote4503 and password: 349249.). There is a page where friends can leave a tribute to Dave and/or make a donation in his memory to Kendal Mountain Rescue: visit https://www.fishwicksfunerals.co.uk and click the donate button. You will then be asked to enter David Harrison's name in order to gain access to his unique donation page. His brother will soon be compiling a tribute to Dave to read during his funeral service. If anyone has any anecdotes he might include to help tell his story, they would be very glad to receive them.

Having won the Dunmail Plate for the last two years it has been held, Kendal were outplayed this week by a strong Keswick team, and our winning streak of matches has come to an end. The trophy is now in Keswick.
If you would like to play in any future competitions with local clubs - please let the club captain know.
