The Diamond Bridge Team

Noel & Jean have been married for 45 years and have three daughters and six grandchildren. They spent the first half of their married life living and working abroad in Trinidad, Barbados, Eire and Holland, and then in Essex and the North East.

Travel must still be in their blood as (apart from Mike and Carole) they are Diamond Bridge's most prolific travellers, having been on over 30 Diamond Bridge holidays, sometimes as part of the team and others just as ordinary holidaymakers.

Noel is currently chairman of the North East Bridge Association, which covers Northumberland, Durham and even part of North Yorkshire. He is also an EBU Panel Tournament Director. Jean is a keen bridge player and recently became a Premier National Master.
