January 2020

I am 15 years old and I live in Dorset. At age 10, I was taught to play bridge by my very insistent father and since then I have only looked back maybe once or twice. I enjoy playing regularly at the Allendale Bridge club in Wimborne, and in international youth competitions. Currently, I'm operating with both under 16 and under 26 women's squads. 

Theo lives in London and comes from a talented bridge playing family. He made his debut in the Peggy Bayer two years ago and managed to avoid losing, although he tried to keep it close by going off in a grand slam in the last set.

Theo studies at Cambridge University.

Venetia comes from a bridge playing family now living in Devon.

Venetia enjoys many sporting activities such as badminton, netball and swimming, particularly wild swimming at beautiful Devon beaches or rivers, another family speciality. If not playing Bridge at the weekend she also loves climbing, and is part of a local youth climbing group. She started playing Bridge three years ago mainly to spend time with the rest of the family. Now the rest of the family are playing Bridge to spend time with Venetia.

Thomas is 14 and lives in Sevenoaks, Kent. He goes to school in Tonbridge, where besides bridge, he enjoys playing the organ and cello.

He has been playing bridge for four years, although he has been playing Whist for many more. Thomas first discovered the elegance of the game when his father (who occasionally plays bridge when he has time to) recommended a basic bridge book by Andrew Robson to his older brother who, after reading it, recommended it to him - he has been enthralled with the game ever since.

This person has no biography at present. If it's you, why not send one to us?

Bjorn is 15 years old and started playing bridge when he was 13. Ever since his mum introduced him to this card game (which is so much more than just a card game) he has been hooked. It is a great way to meet new individuals and he is delighted to have found new friends just by sitting at the table. Bjorn is half Irish and half Swedish.

Apart from playing bridge he enjoys sporting activities the most. Karate and football, and of course, bridge are his main favourites.
