Anne Swannell's obituary for Cheltenham Bridge Club, Gloucester Bridge Club and the Gloucestershire County Bridge Association can be read here.
The below was written for Anne's Dimmie Fleming Award in 2010:
Anne has been a member of Cheltenham Bridge Club for many years, being elected to the club committee in 1986. Since then she has been Chairman twice and worked in many different posts.
She has also served on the Cheltenham Bridge Congress committee for some 20 years and is the current Secretary. Along with her happy band of workers she has worked many a long hour to make it a continued success. She also manages to play as well!!
Some 10 years ago Anne also joined the GCBA Executive Committee and County members have benefited from her organisational skills on Monday evenings and weekend events during that time.
Anne also plays at the Gloucester Bridge Club helping out there. She has represented the Club and County in many competitions with a great degree of success and indeed played all over the country.
Anne is always smiling and a real “pocket dynamo”, loving her bridge. In addition to all this she is still in employment and a mother enjoying time with her family. Quite incredible.
