Jeffrey Allerton 1970-2024

Jeffrey Allerton won the European and World Junior Championships in 1994/5, followed by his first Camrose appearance in 1996.

While half the junior team became bridge professionals, Jeffrey qualified as an accountant and tax advisor (and married Frances Hinden). Working in practice in South-West London, Jeffrey found time to win various bridge trophies including the English Premier League, the Gold Cup twice and the Camrose twice. In 2017, Jeffrey and Chris Jagger reached the final of the European Open Pairs, finishing in a respectable 16th place.

Jeffrey enjoyed listening to classical music and skiing, and was a keen cricket fan supporting Lancashire & England.
