  • I have been playing Bridge since the year 2020 and have been the Secretary of the ARV Bridge Club (2-264) since 2024. In this role I take care of the digital aspects required for the club including the registration of member in the ABF site, effecting inter club transfers etc.
  • In November 2024 I received my certification as a ‘club director’ and I do assist and function as an under study to our senior director.
  • I enjoy Bridge and like the opportunity to meet like minded people. As a council member I can assist the council, where necessary with business leadership, finance management and technology skills.

  • I am a member of the Sapphire Bridge Club, located on the far South Coast of NSW. Currently I am the Tournament Coordinator and Congress Convenor for the club. I am in the process of becoming a qualified club director. Previously I was the president of the Tamworth Bridge Club.
  • Tamworth and the Sapphire Coast are smaller sized clubs with very keen Bridge Players who enjoy playing face-to-face Bridge. I am a big believer in F-t-F bridge in a future where online bridge is going to play an increasing role. 
  • Maintaining and building a Bridge community with thriving country clubs and regional congresses as a part of the bigger bridge population of NSW is my goal

    this digital age.
  • I volunteer for the council to see the value proposition of Bridge NSW continue to
    increase for all clubs and players, and grow our numbers of youth players.
