| Eddie Cawley - A Tribute |
Eddie Cawley - a tribute. Eddie Cawley was at the heart of BlackRock Bridge Club for over 20 years. He and his wife Marie also took a central role over the years in maintaining social contact with members of the club. The Covid pandemic saw the cessation of normal bridge in March 2020. Eddie moved bridge online in the summer of 2020 and then took on another group (Guardian Angels) which play on Tuesdays and then took a further step with a totally new Thursday session. Eddie had responsibility for the club website which he managed diligently for many years. Sadly Eddie became terminally ill in the summer of 2021 and died on 16th October. We take this opportunity of paying a fulsome tribute to the work done by Eddie for our own local BBC over many years and offer renewed and heartfelt sympathy to Marie and all of the Cawley family on Eddie's passing. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis. This new website is dedicated to Eddie’s memory.
