Margaret Balch
It was with deep regret that our Chairman, Alan Andrews, gave the news at the Vincent Competition that one of our honorary members,Margaret Balch, had recently died. At 92 years of age Mrs Balch was one of our oldest members, having played in county events for many years. In fact the Veteran's Trophy, which is the next County event, was generously donated by her. Mr Andrews said that she would be sorely missed in the local bridge area. A minute's silence was observed.
