We have recently learned of the death of Margaret Armstrong; our sincere condolences to her family.

Margaret, a Founder Member, was made an Honorary Life Member of WMBC in 2004.

Along with her husband, Eric, Margaret was instrumental in the formation of WMBC in 1966 and became our first Treasurer.  Already giving bridge lessons at a local hotel, Margaret was also instrumental in the formation of the Solihull School of Bridge, becoming Treasurer for the first 7 years - again supported by Eric.  Margaret continued to teach bridge at the Club for many years to come.

Margaret was also a formidable, top-class bridge player, rising to the rank of 3* Grand Master and performing at a consistently high level in both County and National events.  She won multiple Warwickshire events including the premier events, the Championship Pairs and the Goodman Cup many times. She first won the Championship Pairs in 1963 with husband Eric and last won it 40 years later in 2003 with Mike Allen. She represented the County on numerous occasions.

The funeral will be held on Wednesday, 18 December followed by a wake at WMBC. Further details will be posted here as they become available.
