Quite a bit of sad news

Dear All,

I am sorry to report that three very prominent members of Old College in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s have all recently died. All three spent most of their lives in the part of Burbage Road nearest the Club and all of them used to do Club teas on Sunday afternoons.

MARGARET ROBINSON was a very good player, who won the Club Singles in 1975. She played competitively for the ladies and mixed teams. Her son, Nick, was also a very good player at the Club.

ROSEMARY DAWSON was also a good player, won the Ladies Singles in 1973 and went on to win the Mixed and Ladies Doubles too. A keen team player Rosemary was unique in using a full western grip on her racket, meaning she could volley in a devastating back to front style. There will be a memorial service for Rosemary at St Barnabas at 12 noon on Wednesday 13th May.

GILL ALEXANDER was very active in the Junior section, which was started earlier by one of our Presidents, Jenny Ritchie. She was also an energetic fund raiser, when the Club was very strapped for money, and organised some very profitable jumble sales. At one of the jumble sales a well- known Club member took off her expensive coat to serve behind the table and this was promptly sold for £5! Many will know her as the dynamic Chair of the Friends of Dulwich Picture Gallery.

All contributed greatly to the volunteer duties at the Club and will be sadly missed.

Our thoughts are with their families and friends.

From David Cianfarani and the Club Committee
