Welcome to Wallingford Bridge Club
Geoff Nicholas

It is with great sadness we report that Geoff Nicholas died on 10th July. He fell ill after Covid but tragically never fully recovered.

Geoff played a key role in the management of Aylesbury Bridge Club as well as being a valued member of both Wallingford Bridge Club and the Oxfordshire Bridge Association. 

He reached the rank of Grand Master and his many achievements included running both the OBA Seniors at Wallingford and the OBA Wessex League.  The bridge world will miss his motivation, enthusiasm, friendliness and compassion.

Funeral arrangements to follow.
