We are sad to report the death this morning of Brian Crack. Brian was a long-standing member of the EBU Tournament Committee, was involved in all aspects of the Master Point scheme, and in 2014 received the Silver Award for his work for the EBU.
He was also a Kent committee member and shareholder for many years, and an obituary appears on the Kent CBA website.
Ian Payn, Chair of the EBU, said today: “Brian Crack was one of the first people I met at the bridge table. He was kind and supportive to a young player. Many years later when I joined the EBU Board I was appointed Chair of the (then) Tournament Committee. Brian was the Deputy Chair and again, proved kind and supportive, in what was to me an alien environment. His contribution at club, county and national level was considerable and lengthy. I owe him a great debt, personally, and the membership at large does as well.”
The funeral service for Brian will be held from 11.30am on Friday 21st July at Hawkinge Crematorium, Aerodrome Road, Folkstone, CT18 7AG.
The service will be followed by a light buffet at the Hythe Imperial, Princes Parade, Hythe, CT21 6AE (rooms are available to book directly).
