Anna Blanchard
6 tours from £435pp
Expert Overview
Anna was born in the Netherlands but has lived in the UK since the early 70's. She started playing bridge when she got fed up, in her words, of "the domestic drudgery of 3 kids under 5", and bridge classes were her night off!
Like all other players, Anna has directed, as well as running committee functions at her local club.
After all these years, she is still enjoying the game and forever learning.
Top Tip from Anna: Be kind to your partner, a grumpy partner does not make overtricks!
