Jennie George - 13th July 2026
We are sad to learn that Jennie George passed away on 13th July after suffering from an aggressive form of dementia. Many of you will remember that Jennie was very full of life and always on the go and this was sadly robbed from her during her last couple of years. She was smiling to the end, although her last game of bridge at the club was about 2 ½ years ago. Please see the club noticeboard for funeral details.
