Welwyn Garden City Cricket Club

It is with great sadness we report the passing of Joyce Beynon. Joyce (or Auntie Joyce as she was affectionately called by many people at WGCCC) has been an integral part of WGCCC for over 40 years. There is so much Joyce did for our cricket club but it mostly went unnoticed, mainly because she would never want to take any credit for what she had done. She would insist it was just part of her role in supporting David, Jane, Stephen or Dan. Joyce was the constant in the life of WGCCC, watching and supporting regardless of the performance or weather. The boundary will not be the same without her.
 
Joyce always had a positive outlook on life and a lovely sense of humour. One particular Facebook post sums this up. Joyce was on a trip with David when over the tannoy system a security message asked all passengers to report anything suspicious, to which Joyce commented…’I wonder whether I should hand David in, as I’d always found his jacket very suspicious!’.
 
WGCCC (and Hertfordshire CCC) has lost its biggest supporter and Joyce will be sorely missed by all of us. We would like to send our sincere condolences to David, Jane, Stephen and Dan at this extremely sad time.
