RESULTS

FAREWELL TO SHIRLEY – September 2025 

Lindsey Bridge group marked the departure of their club chair, Shirley Droy on Thursday 14 August with a ‘bit of a do!’   A splendid cake was baked (by Mary), we toasted Shirley with a bit of fizz/juice and presented her with a voucher, to thank her for her work with this group. 

The bridge group was set up as a new venture in 2017, and we originally met in Welton Manor Park. I’m not sure, but I think we played with borrowed equipment to begin with, then when membership increased, we bought our own. Eventually we had enough funds to pay for a computer programme for scoring purposes (saving me as scorer, time and brain strain) and could have these printed results posted on the Lindsey website.

However long before this, and shortly after Shirley and Ray moved into Sudbrooke in 2001, they were involved in several groups.   Shirley was a committee member for some time, the leader of the Saturday luncheon club and the theatre visits organizer. She recalls that seeing Tommy Steele playing the lead in ‘The Glen Miller Story’ was the last visit she organized.

We wish Shirley well in her move to Stoney Stratford, to be nearer to her daughter Deborah, and will do our best to ensure that her legacy with this Bridge group continues to thrive.        Cathy Platt
