It almost slipped me by, but just came to my attention that Joan Kershaw died in August this year. She was a contemporary of Beryl Burton and on one or the rare years when BB didn't take part, she won the 25 championship in 1965. She and her two daughters also made history, when the three of them took the team award for the 100, some years later.
Joan was a leading member of my old club and with me living 200 miles away, only met her occasionally. She was also a serving member on the RTTC committee for a number of years.
On Merseyside, she was well known and respected.
