| Geoffrey Wolfarth |
I am very sorry to announce that Geoffrey Wolfarth died very unexpectedly last evening (July 27th). Geoffrey will always be remembered for his national successes, notably at the Spring Fours, but perhaps most especially for winning the English Trials and representing England in the Camrose Series of internationals. At county level, Geoffrey gave much of his time to the work of the association management committee through his roles as communications co-ordinator and pro bono legal adviser. But he will also be remembered at the Avenue for his preparedness to play sessions with those wanting to learn more and for the help given to those club members who he helped to improve. Our condolences go to Ros, Geoffrey's family and friends.
For an obituary by Brian Senior and details of Geoffrey's funeral, please see the EBU web-site.
