Episode 27 Andrew Robson, gives us a window into the International world of top class bridge.
A bonus episode for you,
Do you play bridge? Or is this mysterious world alien to you?!
Andrew Robson has won so many of the top championships in the world and our country village has managed to engage him to teach some of his skills in aid of our much loved St Mary's Church in Overton on Dee.
What is the life of an International bridge player like?
How do you earn a living playing bridge?
Which other famous people play?
Is bridge a game of luck or skill?..either way it is high drama, with its language of "grand slams", "doubling" the stakes, "eve of battle", "springing a trap", "taking a finesse".
Bridge enthusiasts gathered in Overton Village Hall for their training day epitomise the qualities of team work, ethics and sportsmanship which make bridge "the game for a lifetime."
