Like so many things in life I fell into teaching bridge completely by accident! Not least because I consider myself a no more than an average club player.

However, I consider Bridge to be a great social opportunity and it is often a helpful distraction to people who are going through tough times. But I fear for its future as I watch the Bridge playing community aging and consider that only the EBU will be able to address this issue.

Since I am not a supremely gifted player, I can readily identify with students' difficulties!

Other interests include boring stuff like Maths and, to a lesser extent, Computers.
