Learnt bridge at school in the 1960's, still learning. Won a few bits and bobs along the way.

Still playing cricket for the Essex over-60's and a qualified umpire.

Play a variety of systems with different partners but particularly enjoy playing Dutch Heart at the TGR club in Paddington (Pass/1C/1D=transfer openings, 1H=any 0-10 that isn't a traditional pre-empt). Leads to some fun auctions - Pass-pass (alert)-double was one.
