After a sudden illness George Goddard passed away on February 20th.

George gained a great of enjoyment from both social and competitive bridge, always eager to help others improve their game.

In his younger years when working in both the Sudan and Jordan helped organise tournaments and fundraising events for charities.

He had been a member for more than 20 years, often playing 3 or 4 times every week, most recently with John Mullaly.
