| Keith Freeman |
With much sadness, the recent death of Keith Freeman is reported.
Keith was a most regular member of the club for 25 years and, in partnership with David Crossland, a stalwart of the Malton B team. He was playing at the club every week until the start of the Covid lockdown and then continued playing online until a day or two before he died, peacefully, in hospital. Always courteous and unruffled as a partner or opponent, with a strong card sense, his gentlemanly manner and strong commitment will be sorely missed.
