It is with deep sadness that I have to announce the loss of one of club members, Andrew Donovan who passed away on the 21st of December.

Andrew and his devoted wife Valerie both joined one of our bridge classes as beginners and carried on their bridge experience to become regular players at the Risbygate club. Some of you may remember Andrew from his career in hospitality being the General manager of the Angel Hotel in the late 70's. He had a beard in those days!

I will remember him fondly as a quiet man with a cheeky side. I will post details of the funeral arrangements once I have them.
