BOB GOLDSMITH

The Club is saddened to hear of the recent death of former President and long serving member Bob Goldsmith. He was 96.

Bob’s playing career with the club was focussed in the 1960s and early 1970s during which time he twice won the Club’s batting award, in 1962 and 1969. In 1972 Bob’s career in the diplomatic service took him first to Brussels and subsequently to other far flung areas of the world. He still found time to join the Club’s two week tour to Gibraltar in 1976 and he continued to make on field appearances until 1989 whenever his schedule allowed. Upon his retirement he relocated to his native Yorkshire, living in Scarborough where one of the highlights of every year was being able to attend the Scarborough Cricket Festival. He continued to take a close interest in the Club’s affairs.

Bob served as Treasurer (1963 – 1968) and President (1976 – 1989).

The Club sends its condolences to daughter Alexandra.
