Iris Shaw

It’s with great sadness that we share that Iris passed away peacefully on Sunday, 1 February.  Our condolences go to her family and friends.

Iris was an long standing member and great supporter of the Club.  She had an engaging and amusing table presence and always displayed a supportive manner to new players.   She played in the club session on 31 January, so right up to the end.

Funeral details will be shared when available.
