Brian Place (Avogadro1) RIP
We are deeply saddened to report the sudden passing of our regular member and good friend Brian Place from Galway.  Avogadro1 entertained us at the end of each night with his skillful command of the English language where he resurrected unusual words and put them together like a wordsmith to form alliterations and rhymes to compliment the tournament directors with his elloquent musical poetry.  We also remember Brian for his friendly and courteous manner at the table.  He was the consummate charmer.
We extend our deepest sympathies to his daughter Fiona and all his family.  May he Rest in Peace.

Pat Kilfeather RIP

It is with great sadness that we report the passing of one of Sligo’s most loved and accomplished Bridge players – Pat Kilfeather.  Pat was actively involved in bridge at all levels, as a player, an administrator, club captain and even President of the North West Region. Despite raising a family of 6 children, and the resulting 15 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren, she still found time for Bridge and even managed to attract some of her children and extended family to follow in her footsteps.  If there was ever a need for a great advertisement about the long term benefits of playing bridge then we need look no further than Pat Kilfeather.

Pat loved her Bridge and as a Master player she played in every corner of Ireland (North and South) as well as travelling abroad for a game or two. She had that rare mixture of personable qualities that showed us that you could be brilliant at the game while still having fun and more importantly making sure that your opponents enjoyed their game too – so even though we lost, we came away from her table feeling better than when we arrived.  She was always keen to share her knowledge and was especially encouraging and helpful to newer members.  It didn’t hurt her game, that she knew a thing or two about Poker.  Bridge in Sligo owes a great debt to the patronage of our Sligo Doyenne. Thank you Pat.

Pat Kilfeather was also the last surviving founding member of the very successful Yeats Country Bridge Congress back in 1960.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Bryan, Neal, Patricia (Henry), Andy, Roy and Gary and also to Marguerite, Mary, to her son-in-law, daughters-in-law, fourteen grandchildren, twenty five great-grandchildren, relatives, neighbours and many friends.
