The Diamond Bridge Team

Roy was a chartered Civil & Water Engineer before taking early retirement in 1989. Having first started to play bridge whilst working in West Bengal, India in 1957, he says he is still learning. He is a 15* Premier Regional Master, but also likes the cut and thrust of rubber bridge. When he and Jean play together they use Precision Club but Jean says it ought to be the Indian Club so that she can use it on him!

Jean worked in the Tax Office for 15 years before starting a family. When the children grew up she went back to work as a Wages Clerk and retired early with Roy. She learnt bridge from a Penguin book in 1971 and is now a National Master. Jean has always enjoyed organising duplicate bridge events and became an EBU County Tournament Director in 1991, and has kept up to date on revision courses ever since. These days she spends more time directing than playing.
