Fishbourne Tennis Club members will be sad to hear of the death of Brian Wilkinson. Brian was a new recruit to the club and was not known by many, but was looking forward to playing more as he got back into his tennis. He was perhaps best known for being one of few men at the Wednesday cardio tennis sessions.

Brian was also known to regulars at the Bull’s Head in Fishbourne where he was always happy to chat. His laid back demeanour, sense of humour and wide-ranging experience made him a pleasure to spend time with and he will be much missed by those who knew him well. Brian passed away on 8 August and FTC passes on its condolences to his friends and family.
