Abbey Smith Bridge Club

Abbey Smith Bridge Club Abbey Smith Bridge Club is based at Drayton Parslow Sports and Social Club. These are very friendly and welcome new players.

Gentle Wednesdays - 7.30-9.30pm (fortnightly) - suitable for those who have recently learnt bridge, but are a bit hesitant. These are very relaxed and friendly
Thursdays - 7pm- 10pm (weekly) - suitable for those who know how to play bridge. Fridays - 3pm - 5.30pm (weekly) - suitable for those who know how to play bridge. These are also friendly and welcome new players. Sometimes player prefer this

session as it is 2 and half hours rather than 3 hours. In January 2012, I set the club up to provide my students (I do lessons too) with a nice, friendly and relaxed atmosphere to play this fantastic game. Since then, the club has grown dramatically and I now welcome a vast array of levels; from beginners, right through to people that have been playing for years. The growth is a testament to the friendly approach we all have. All players fully respect and encourage my ethos that Bridge is a game to be enjoyed and as many people as possible should be welcomed and encouraged to play. Whilst I encourage a friendly, fun and relaxed atmosphere, I have a plethora of Bridge accolades to my name; you will be in expert hands! I was taught Bridge by my Dad when I was 12 years old and have been playing ever since. I was fortunate to get the opportunity to enter junior trials when I was 16 and managed to be selected for the British Junior Squad and the English Under 20s team. In 1995 it was a privilege to be asked to partner Sandra Landy in the Beijing World Championships. At the time I was the youngest player to represent their country at non-junior level for any Nation. The highlight of my international experience was being a member of the British Ladies Team which won the European Championships in Malta in 1999. More recently my priorities have changed as I am married with 3 young daughters. However, I have started teaching bridge and love it!

The Swiss Teams event at the LlanBrighton was quite a tense affair, at one point the team were in 12th, then they were in the top 4 and they actually managed to achieve third and only 1 point behind second placed team. Onward to the Europeans!

Abbey had a bit of an adventure in Brighton yesterday! Competing with Martin Jones in the Swiss Pairs at the EBU-WBU event, imaginatively titled ‘LlanBrighton’, it was a 7 x 7 competition, and they came second out of 72 pairs. The best news is that they were only narrowly beaten by Sally Anoyrkatis and John Athey – who you may well remember are Abbey and Martin’s England partners. So, the European England Team Smith held the two top spots which is ‘great ahead of the Euros!’ Abbey reported after the event. Today the four of them compete in the Swiss Teams!
