We are sorry to report that Mike died last Friday in hospital, funeral arrangements unknown. 

He was a leading Kent player for many years, won over 20 cups including Congress Pairs 3 times, Arnold, Congress Owl Cup twice etc. He also won Harold Poster cup when it was held at Brighton & they had hundreds of pairs. He was part of the Tollemache team back in the 1980s.

The funeral will be at 2.30 pm on Thursday 12th March at Eastbourne Crematorium (Hide Hollow, Langney, Eastbourne, BN23 8AE).

The NS/EW winners / Howell winners get a free Saturday game. After each event a commentary on the hands is sent out to all players.

The organisers check the NGS grades via an automated check on the EBU database on Friday afternoon and would be grateful if pairs would enter by 12noon on Friday. Any entries after this time need to be manually checked and incur extra work. Many thanks
