Dear Members,

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Carol Francis earlier today, long time secretary of the BICC she will have helped every member of our club at some time or other. Carol retired from her role at the end of the 2024 season but remained a much loved and respected member of the club’s administration. Our thoughts and prayers are with Carol’s family this evening and we send our heartfelt condolences at this very sad time.

Rest in Peace Carol. You will be greatly missed.                         Tribute to Carol Here
