It is with great sadness that we announce that Geraldine recently passed away. She had been a well respected and talented member of the club for decades. She was part of many winning teams' events and the recipient of a few trophies.
Her NGS grade was usually at the high level of a Queen and even that of a King.
She was a private person but had a lovely sense of humour and was never short of partners. It was an honour to partner her and her patience and expertise were very apparent.
Recently she had been very unwell and with her husband also being unwell and passing away in the last few months life has had its challenges.
She is now at rest and we shall miss her.
