It is with regret that we have to announce that Melvyn Price, who skippered the county over 65 team for the last two years has recently passed away. His first success in a tournament was winning the masters mixed doubles in 1998 with Linda Lucas and he followed that success by winning the John Asher tournament two years later with J.Rivers. In recent years he was a member of the Ryde D team that won Div 3 in 2017 and last season represented Newport.
The funeral will be held on Tuesday 11th June 10:30 at the crematorium.
