| John Durrant |
John Durrant, one of our nonagenarian former members, passed away on 6th September at the age of 92. John was a member of Sherborne Bridge Club for some fifty years.
With his wife Shirley, he was a staunch and loyal member of the club. He was a superb player and over the years took part in numerous competitions locally, nationally and abroad.
The photograph shows John holding a trophy won at a Somerset competition with Stewart Upton. He will be fondly remembered by those who had the privilege of playing with him.
