Our History

This page contains our past committees and some information about the founding of the Club.

Notes and information Anything in italics is uncertain. Links to known EBU biographies have been added in the table below (or in this notes section if not otherwise included) - please get in touch if you think any have been omitted. There appears to have been a club in existence as early as 1933, called the Cambridge University Contract Bridge Club. The Secretary was Colin Harding, M. The Cambridge Captain in the first Varsity match (1935) was Iain Macleod, CAI. Bernard Teltscher was the post-war founder of the club in 1945/46. The club also helped to found the Cambs. & Hunts. Contract Bridge Association in 1964/65. Peter Swinnerton-Dyer is known to have been President of the club while as an undergraduate (late 1940s / early 1950s), despite only learning to play the game later. He later became Vice-Chancellor of the university in 1979. For many years there was no separate post of Captain and the President was de facto captain. David Simner was elected social sec in 2006 but resigned; Paul Hunter was co-opted later. Webmaster did not become an official committee post until 2002. Prior to this it was done by Ian Greig (Q), 1999–2001 and James Martin (JN), ?–1999. Another change in 2002 was the abolition of the historical posts of SCL (league) secretary, newssheet editor, and magazine editor. As far as we know, the latter two were always done by the same person (if at all). SCL secretary was vacant from 1997/8 through to 2001/2; Daniel Burn held this post in 1989/90 and it is known to have been filled in 1992/3. Also on the committee in 1989/90 were Paul Harden (asst sec) and Gerard Thompson (librarian); It is not known whether these were official committee positions but if so they were abolished by the 1994 constitution. Richard Smith was definitely on the committee in 1996/7 but possibly not as secretary. Catherine Ashment and Chris Jagger are now married, as are Jeffrey Allerton and Frances Hinden. Sonia Zakrzewski, Gareth Birdsall, Rob Richardson, Jim Chapman, John Haslegrave, Bernard Teltscher, Paul Russell and William Clennell are honorary members of the UBC. Honorary membership was introduced in 2002, hence this list is exhaustive. Thanks to Giles Woodruff, Richard Fleet, Gareth Roberts, Tony Clark and Robin Barker for many additions to this page.
