A long-time member and president of Ilkley’s Olicana Bridge Club has died at the age of 84.
Leslie Booth Jones, known to most as Les, died peacefully at his home in Ben Rhydding on November 8. His great love was bridge, and he had been a member of Olicana Bridge Club’s first team that was promoted to the Yorkshire first division in 2012 and was the serving president when he died.
He and his wife, Mayona, who died in 2004, had a keen interest in natural history and had been members of the Wharfedale Naturalists.
He leaves children Gareth, Sian and Huw, grandchildren Ben, William, Emily, Joella and Janelle, and his sister Phyllis, who still lives in the Cynon Valley.
