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.

Tim became interested in mind sports at an early age and was playing elementary card games almost before he could walk. But his first love was chess: a former county champion, he has represented England at senior level.  Nevertheless, over the decades, Tim has increasingly been lured towards bridge, and today you are more likely to see him at a bridge table than over a chess board. At bridge, he is a frequent competitor in congresses and has represented both Surrey and London in inter-county events.  Tim qualified as a teacher in 2018 as he wished to spread the word about how good a game this is. His aim in teaching is not only to encourage players to improve, but to show how much enjoyment we can get from this greatest of all card games.
Outside bridge and chess, Tim’s interests include classical music – especially for the piano.

Naomi started playing bridge in her thirties with her then boyfriend who was keen to learn.  Initially unsure of how much enjoyment the game would provide, she eventually succumbed to its charms. She started her competitive career with a bang winning her first ever congress.  In 2018 Naomi decided she would like to encourage others to learn and play and took the teacher training course.  She aims to make her lessons enjoyable and fun.  Away from the table, Naomi is a qualified counsellor with an interest in equine facilitated therapy, a former lock-keeper, and a lover of literature and music.
