| Daphne Patrick |
Daphne passed away after a short illness on 25 August. She and her late husband Joe founded Kingston Seymour Bridge Club in North Somerset, which is still a thriving club, now chaired by their daughter Liz Hale, with many of its members taught to play by Daphne. She also played regularly at other local clubs and in Somerset events. Before moving to Somerset in 2008, Daphne lived in Wales, and she represented that country in international competitions (including vs Omar Sharif for Egypt), captaining the women's team and playing in the Lady Milne competition and others. She will be greatly missed by the many players she knew and helped.
