Hello!

As January is coming to an end already, it’s time to highlight some of our events that are upcoming. However, first some sad news.

Joan Horlock died peacefully on 17th January, aged 91. Beloved wife of the late Patrick William and darling mother of David, Mark and Joanna.

Joanna Riddell has written these words about her mother;

“Joan Horlock (nee Webb) 4th June 1931 – 17th January 2023
Joan had a lifelong association with Frinton-on-Sea Lawn Tennis Club. She played in all the local tennis tournaments as a youth, excelling in the seniors section and was presented with her own set of Slazenger tennis racquets by Dennis Combe. She played at Junior Wimbledon after the War, and encouraged all her children to become useful players. There are many happy memories of playing in the Frinton Handicap doubles with families such as the Blands, Lonsdales, Lyons and Learmonts. She had a lifelong love and interest in tennis.”

There will be a private cremation followed by Service of Thanksgiving at 11.00 a.m. on Friday 10th February, at St Edmund Church, Tendring. Family flowers only. Donations if desired to NSPCC via www.hunnaball.co.uk

Our thoughts, prayers and sympathies go to Joan’s family at this sad time.
