d.1966
The passing of John H C Godfrey is a tragic loss to the Notts. Contract Bridge Association and to the English Bridge Union on which he served on the Rules and Ethics Committee. John was one of the original members of the Notts. Association and the extent and length of his service was of an exceptional character.
As a bridge player he represented Notts. for many years and his demeanour at the table, both as partner and opponent, was always of the highest standard.
In his younger days he represented Notts. at hockey and latterly served on the Selection Committee.
He was modest and gentle in his attitude to others, but this did not hide his strength of character.
He will be much missed both locally and nationally.
