Sandra Cheyne: 7.12.51 - 28.7.22 We have learnt with immense sadness that Sandra died on 28 July. As many of you know, Sandra was very ill but she continued to be President of the BCWA, managing to fit in the meetings around her chemo dates and, when her two years were up, offering to continue in the job for a while longer. And even before she was President, we learned to appreciate her good sense and equally good humour during her time as Membership Secretary. In addition to her activities with the BCWA, Sandra was also a much appreciated member of the RBL Paris branch. |

John Faulkner, informs us of the death of his brother of William Faulkner. A member of the Paris branch until his return to Dublin when he transfered his membership to local branches, including that at Portstewart N. Ireland, where his son John is a member.
William passed away peacefully at his home in Dublin on Friday 12th February 2021 and was cremated on the 25th February 2021. I know he will be greatly missed in all four of the RBL branches he had been involved with.
