I started off as a chess player, playing bridge at home and then at local clubs. However the university bridge club was both strong and supportive, and gradually bridge took over. I have played semi-regularly for 40 years, although never at a very high level – the highlight of my career so far has been winning the Premier Life/Life Masters Pairs in 2023.
Away from the bridge table I now design, develop and support computer software. I am also a keen 'parkrunner' and sing in a choir. I joined the Selection Committee in January 2025.
