Tribute to Rosemary Fellows by Chas Fellows Rosemary Fellows 17.4.49 – 4.11.11 Selsdon BC has lost one of its longest serving members. Rosemary was introduced to bridge by her husband, Roger, in their courting days. She quickly demonstrated a natural ability at the game and became a fine intuitive player. She and Roger joined the Selsdon club when they moved to Sanderstead in 1974, and in 2003, Rosemary became only the fourth member in the Club’s long history to have won all six of the Club’s Championship events. In 1990, playing with her best friend Annette Roberts, she won the National Women’s Pairs with three over-60% sessions and an International appearance followed. She was also active in Surrey competitions, winning the Aileen Filose (Ladies pairs) competition with Denny Wade on, it is believed, two occasions. click here for full tribute... |
