We have just heard that Pauline passed away this week after a long illness most recently spent in hospital.

Pauline was a long serving member of the club playing in many mixed and ladies’ club competition finals and played in many matches against other club. She and husband Bert tended the flower beds at RBC for many years.

Our sincere condolences go to Bert.
