The sad loss of Stretton Wright

Sun 10 May 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of a pillar of our community. A professional, a colleague but most importantly a friend to many throughout the East Riding, Stretton Wright.

Stretton was gentleman and a fantastic ambassador of Hornsea Golf Club, as well as the Union and the game itself. He will be sorely missed by many.

Our thoughts go out to Yvonne, the family, and all that were close to him, at this difficult time.

Rest in peace our friend Stret.
