Eric Kresner

Sadly Eric Kresner passed away suddenly on Sunday 27th October 2019. 

His funeral will be private.

Our condolences to his widow Denise, family and friends.

Eric was a founder member of the club, and played regularly with Denise until last year when illness prevented their regular attendance.

He will be much missed by all at Woodberry. 

John Stimson

It is with great sadness that we have to report the sudden death of John Stimson on 16th August. John was a long standing member of Woodberry Bridge Club, and will be sorely missed.

Woodberry Weekend Autumn 2017

Woodberry Autumn Weekend, Eastbourne 2017

Why do people take selfies when they could just ask a stranger to take a photo for them?

Fortunately the second attempt was much better! As you see from the shades Saturday morning was very sunny, at least to start with.

I heard later those who went for fish & chips got soaked more than just by vinegar!

It was lovely for me to rejoin club members and enjoy another Woodberry Weekend.
We very much were missing Gill Hutchinson who sadly passed away the week before. Many of us had know Gill and enjoyed her friendship for years. She will be greatly missed.

Woodberry Weekend, Worthing 2017

At this year's Spring weekend in Worthing we were graced with fabulous weather. On the Saturday morning some adventurers took to the hills, while others to the shops or to the beach for a leisurely stroll.
I think everyone seemed to have a pleasant time. The Ardington Hotel thanked us all for the donation given on Sunday.
