Wilson Hanna RIP

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Wilson Hanna, one of the NIBU’s oldest, longest and respected members. Wilson died peacefully at home on 7th July. He introduced many new players to bridge at Malone GC, Collegians and the Belfast Boat Club. Wilson was playing bridge at Malone GC until 3 months ago. The photograph shows him celebrating his 97th birthday earlier this year.
