Martin Bayne

Martin Bayne has indicated his intention to step back from his Trustee role once the Trustee recruitment process is complete. His fellow Trustees proposed and the members attending our recent AGM unanimously agreed that Martin should become an Honorary Member of the bridge club in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the club.

Martin became a Trustee in July 2018 and shortly thereafter took the lead in seeking alternative premises for the club. He was involved in sourcing and the building of our current premises from start to finish. He was involved in negotiating the terms of the agreement with Acomb Sports Club. He identified and worked with the architect to design the fine building we have today, built on the foundations of green energy and efficiency. During the build itself, Martin could often be found on site, liaising with the architect and builders. He often bought them food to show his appreciation for their work.

Martin’s contribution was exceptional. Without his drive and enthusiasm, it is possible the new premises may never have been built. Thank you Martin – your honorary status is well deserved.
