| Keith Sadler |
 It is with great sadness that we have to report the passing of Keith after a long illness. Keith was a long time member of Wallingford and Abingdon Bridge Clubs and will be greatly missed. Since Covid he enjoyed playing regularly at the Thursday face to face sessions until his latest setback.
Keith, also a former chairman of the OBA, was the instigator of the seniors monthly bridge for which he donated the Sadler salver to be awarded annually. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Funeral details to follow.
