Club Teacher - Chris Bonser
Club Teacher - Chris Bonser

Chris Bonser has played duplicate bridge at the Brentham Club in Ealing for ten years where his regular partner is his wife, Rebecca. Chris is a firm believer that, whatever your standard of play, bridge is first and foremost a game to be enjoyed and he and his wife like an evening of social bridge with friends and a bottle of wine just as much as the club duplicate events.

Chris aims to bring this philosophy into his bridge teaching where classes are taught professionally (following the syllabus devised by the EBU) but in a relaxed and informal manner.

The picture was taken during Chris's recent holiday in Kenya when a year-old cheetah cub suddenly decided to climb on to the open roof of his safari vehicle

The full result can be viewed by clicking on "Results Calendar" and then on "June 25".

Bridge Etiquette
There are only two things you should say to your partner at the bridge table - "Well Done" or "Bad Luck". Scathing criticism of your partner will not help him/her play the next hand better.
