Deirdre Morris RIP

It is with great regret and sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Deirdre Morris on the 17th November 2024.

Deirdre was a long-standing member of the club, and a former member of the committee. We will remember her great contribution, her fabulous bridge skills, and more importantly her friendly disposition at the bridge table.

She will be greatly missed by the members of Railway Union Bridge Club. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this sad time. May Deirdre rest in peace.
