| Bruce Leslie |
We are very sorry to learn of the death of Bruce Leslie, at the age of 91, on 23rd September. He was a very fine player, and a long term and much liked member of the club. He had a warm and engaging personality, was a very pleasant person to play with or against, and a stalwart of Austenwood's first team in the LO8. He regularly came early to put up the tables before the rest of us arrived, and continued to play bridge online after Covid. The funeral is on November 13th at 12.45pm at Severn Hills Crematorium, Ipswich.
