IT IS WITH GREAT SORROW THAT WE TELL YOU OF THE SAD LOSS OF ONE OF OUR FOUNDER MEMBERS PAUL WEST THIS AFTERNOON FRIDAY 26TH MARCH. PAUL WAS OUR FIRST EVER DIRECTOR AND PROUD MEMBER OF OUR CLUB. HE FOUGHT HIS ILLNESS VALIANTLY OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND JOINED US ON SOME MEMORABLE HOLIDAYS WITH HIS WIFE CAROL, NOT LEAST THE OCCASION OF THEIR SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY IN TUSCANY. WE HAVE MANY HAPPY MEMORIES ESPECIALLY THE FUN EVENTS HE ORGANISED IN OUR EARLY YEARS. 

I heard from Jayne Ashman today that Mim sadly died on Tuesday. Jayne wrote such a touching letter that I thought I would share some of it with you " (I) met Mim through bridge some 10 years ago, she so looked forward to her afternoons at Larkhill and I would like to thank you all for your patience and kindness we never really took it too seriously!!! Mim was a real character working in television production all over the world. She was fiercely independent,interesting, funny and sparky right to the end. I will miss her." As indeed she will be missed by many of us and her endearing smile and cheerfulness remains with me.

 MAGNIFICENT FINAL TOTAL OF £4064 ACHIEVED.

We are very sorry to hear of the death of Roger Richardson. He was very encouraging to a number of our players as novices who enjoyed playing bridge and canasta in the sessions that he ran for the U3A at Norris Road in Sale and supported joint competions between Larkhill and Norris Road.

Adam Wiseberg has been incredibly helpful and has spent a lot of time setting up competitions for MCBA (Manchester County Bridge Association) and has even produced "Idiots' Guides" on YouTube to help you get going. There is still room for a few more tables playing with local people, some of whom you'll probably know.  REGISTER with Bridgebase.com, it's free or ring me if you want help, Anne 0161 283 2992     

THANKS TO ALL 43 WHO ATTENDED FOR A LOVELY AFTERNOON.

Couldn't resist posting this photo of Byron and his fabulous bridge cards shirt at the Celebration Tea.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! We exceeded our target massively and are making a donation of £790.50 to the Trafford South Food Bank thanks to you wonderful people.

Chairman of the club, Anne Richardson is seen here presenting Drina and Jim Vanner with a token of the club's appreciation for their visit.
