It has come as a great shock and sadness to report that John Gaunt died on Saturday, 13th June, after a short illness (not Covid). He will be very much missed in the bridge community as he was always a keen supporter of all County events when in this Country and also represented the County on several occasions.  John was a past Chairman of Lincolnshire bridge. Together with his wife Wendy, John taught several players to begin playing bridge and helped others to improve.  Sixteen years ago he started teaching and playing with Debbie Burton who had never played before and is now an established player. Debbie said that she owed such a lot to John for which she is extremely grateful and wanted others to know this. His death will be a great loss to Lincolnshire bridge. Our thoughts and condolences go to his wife Wendy, his 2 sons, his daughter, his grandchildren and his friends.
