Vale Simon Hinge – 1952 to 2025
Yesterday Victoria lost its only Emerald Grand Master. Simon was driving to Canberra with friends to compete in the Summer Festival of Bridge when he suffered a fatal heart attack. Simon was well known as a fierce competitor at the bridge table, a winner at the State and National level and also represented Australia. He was also known as a cryptic crossword fiend and was not averse to giving advice! We give our sympathies to his family and friends and to the youth players he encouraged.
