Barbara Solomon - by Chris_Constable 31/03/2012 10:30

 

I am writing to let you know that Barbara Solomon passed  away last Monday, aged 90, in Worthing Hospital.
 
She had not enjoyed good health for some time. A lot of us remember her hospitality ( with John) in the past, and her superb  musical talent.
 
She didn't play much croquet, usually in doubles with John. One very rare occasion when she won a singles match prompted a celebratory bottle!
 
We will miss her.
 
Our thoughts are with John at this sad time.

Full details in due course.

 

Sorry, Liz, I messed up the photo!


Duplicate Bridge and Quiz - by Chris_Constable 04/03/2012 21:30

 

Dear All
 
Unfortunately we have to postpone the Duplicate Bridge on the 18th March due to lack of support. This may be partly due to the date, which is Mothering Sunday.
I know that a lot of you play bridge but you do not come to this event. Please let me know if you would be more likely to come if it was Chicago format, or any other observations that you may have.
 
Regarding the Quiz, next Friday 9th. We still have space for a few more tables. You don't need to have a full team, and family and friends are welcome. Please let me know by Wednesday if you intend to come and have not given your names so far.
 
Thanks
 
Chris Constable

 


Alternate Strokes Doubles Competition - by Jonathan_Isaacs 01/03/2012 19:39

It was a close competition and could have gone any way right up to the bell. Any of the top 4 could have won depending on the outcome of all the other matches.

In the end Gabrielle & Rick squeaked home 10-9 in a nailbiting battle against Alan Rew & Alan Theobald.
