6 tours from £365pp

Expert Overview

Anne is from Leicestershire and is the 'Chair' of the Leicestershire Bridge Association. Before she retired, Anne was a Speech and Language therapist, mainly helping young children. She started learning to play bridge in 1999 and is still learning! When Anne is not on bridge holidays, she represents her county in bridge matches, and teaches and helps teach bridge 3 times a week locally. She doesn't have a favourite hotel and resort as she loves going to new places! Having said that, for Anne, Montenegro and Paphos are both hard to beat.

Anne's other interests and hobbies are spending time with her 96-year-old Mum, playing tennis and croquet and doing gentle bike rides.

She looks forward to welcoming you on the bridge holidays when she is host! Anne will do her best to help you have a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.


Top Bridge Tip from Anne: Encourage as many friends, neighbours and relatives as you can to learn the game so that they can enjoy it too.
