 Janice Hornby |
It is with great sadness we announce that Janice Hornby passed away very quietly surrounded by her sons and daughter-in-law on the morning of Tuesday, 23rd June, after spending her last days in St. John’s Hospice in Lancaster.
Janice came to Bridge later in life and spent many happy evenings playing with Janice Mitchell at both Kendal and Windermere clubs. Her cheery attitude will be sadly missed.
Janice’s funeral will be on Friday, 10th July at 2.00 p.m. at Beetham Crematorium.

| EBU Masterpoint Promotions -May 2026 |
Kew Gardens reported the hottest May temperature yet at 35.0c. However, nothing compares to the flaming success of Jennifer Spencer now a District Master and Jackie Webb who has become a Club Master. Ice pops all round and well done to you both! 🔥 😎🔥 😎

| Cumbria Get Together |
For many years Kendal BC has belonged to Westmorland CBA. The only other member club was Windermere until earlier this year when they decided to join Cumbria. Kendal will decide at the AGM on 8th June whether to also join Cumbria in which case Westmorland will cease to exist as a bridge county.
Whatever the outcome, Cumbria would like to extend a special welcome to Kendal members to a get together at the North Lakes Hotel in Penrith on 12th July. There will be lunch, a friendly, fun game of bridge and unlimited tea and coffee at the heavily subsidised charge of £10 per person. It would be fabulous to see you there, and a fantastic opportunity for you to meet fellow bridge players from around the county. There will be a coach to take members from Kendal.
Event Details:
- Location: North Lakes Hotel, Penrith
- Date: 12th July
- Start time: 12 noon
- Capacity: 20 tables (80 players)
- Inclusions: Bridge game, lunch, unlimited tea/coffee

Many thanks,
Christine Ward, Chair, Cumbria CBA
