Harold Linfield
It is with sadness that we inform you that Harold Linfield passed away on Sunday 20th September 2026. Harold was one of the kindest, most gentlemanly bridge players in Sussex and was a member of the SCCBA Conduct Committee for many years, providing us with his wisdom and life experience when dealing with disciplinary matters. Harold was an excellent player, partnering his wife Cecily in many games and team matches - they won the highly prestigious teams event, the Brighton Bowl, in 1968 with Sandra Landy and her husband Peter, as well as our own highly-respected Sussex Pairs in 2015, 47 years later! Many of us will remember visiting the Linfields' home in Thakeham and experiencing their wonderful hospitality and very genial company. He was a truly wise and thoughtful gentleman and will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with Cecily and their family at this very sad time.
A rather beautiful funeral service was held for Harold at Mary's Church, Thakeham on Friday 9th October.
Sally Bugden, Chair

Blue-Pointed Midweek Swiss Pairs
It was fabulous to see Henfield Hall full for the annual Blue-pointed Midweek Swiss Pairs on Wednesday August 26th. The result was in doubt up to the last few boards. Congratulations to Peter Rowell and Francis Kelly who won their final match against runners-up Giles Faulkner and Matt Smith, eventually finishing five points clear.
Katie Duncanson and Tom Eckersley-Waites stormed up the field to capture third place. The Jack-high prize was won by Peter Harbott and Sally Blockley.
Many thanks to Stephen Kennedy for directing, to Martin Pool and John Hardy for dealing the boards, to Peter Bates for helping set up the venue and to Charlotte Setahul and Marcus for preparing an enormous number of ploughmans lunches!
See you next year!
Peter Clinch
(Organiser)
