HILARY STEWART
HILARY STEWART

Hilary first started playing Bridge more years ago than she cares to remember but her career as a Chartered Accountant and bringing up a family meant there was no time for regular bridge games.

Now retired from accountancy, Hilary has taken up the game with renewed enthusiasm and plays at least 3 times a week.  She is passionate about passing on the joys of bridge to new players and so decided to start teaching in 2016 and qualified as a full member of the EBU Teaching Association in 2018.  Hilary teaches Beginners and Intermediates and is keen to encourage her students to progress from the classroom into the Supervised Play and Normal Duplicate sessions at the Club. When not teaching or playing, Hilary can usually be found at her allotment.
