TWO long-standing members of a Woodford Green golf club have died.

Sylvia Crofts, 78, and Brian Mackey, 75, who were both members of the Woodford Golf club in Sunset Avenue, passed away earlier this month.

Mrs Crofts died three days before she was due to be elected as club president.

Peter Willett, club secretary, said: “Sylvia always worked very hard for the club and will be remembered for her sense of humour.

“It’s very sad that she died before becoming president.

“Brian was a very quiet man who was extremely easy going and liked by absolutely everybody.

“They will both be very much missed by everyone at the club.”
