| In Memorium |
 We are sorry to inform members of the death in February 2023, of Gill Raynor. Gill had been a member at the Club since 2011. She was a regular partner of James Spencer pre-Covid and, on her return to the Club had played mainly on Saturday afternoons, and at the occasional Ploughman’s with a variety of partners until the end of 2022. We send our condolences to her friends and family.
