Tony Priday
Sadly Tony Priday died in 2014, aged 92. His bridge record speaks for itself, and he has always supported the county, of which he was an honorary member. In recent years he had been an abiding presence at the Lederer Memorial Trophy, and his absence from the 2013 event was keenly felt. Tony Priday was one of the most illustrious  of British bridge players. He was educated at Winchester  and reached the rank of major in the army before joining the family wood-importing business.
