We are very sad to report that Geoff Evans died on 21st June. He had been suffering with cancer. Geoff was a kind and gentle man - one of the most popular and highly regarded members of our club over many years. As well as having a distinguished playing career he was a long-standing Club Captain, Chairman of the East Wales Bridge Association, and served on the Welsh Bridge Union's Management Committee. Geoff had a great many friends in the club and in the bridge community more widely. He will be greatly missed.
