Rhona assured me, when I asked her for a biography, that she wasn't "very exciting" ... but I beg to differ! Of herself she says:

I am married to Bernard and have enjoyed playing bridge with him for 30 years. I have two married children boy/girl and 6 wonderful grandchildren who keep me busy. My other hobby is golf, handicap 20.

I first played with Michelle 20 years ago. in Lady Milne and more recently in last Olympiad then there were 2 Europeans, Salt Lake City and the last 2 Venice Cups. In 1993 I won the bronze medal in Common Market mixed teams with Michelle, Bernard and John Holland. (Ed. ...and she says she isn't exciting !!)

After further enquiry she adds:

I was born in Manchester, and lived here all my life (not very exciting).  I am the middle one of three girls.  On a rainy day I like to shop.  Bernard is a retired Chartered Acct.  I was a Secretary but have not worked for some time.  I prefer to play golf.  At the moment I am trying to learn more about using a computer.  I don't collect anything though Alan Mould thinks I collect handbags (Ed. she does - trust me!).  I started playing Bridge in 1966 at local evening school but only played socially until I met and married Bernard in 1975. Most exciting bridge result was probably winning the first pairs event (at the Blackpool congress) I ever played in with Bernard in 1975, although I am sure it actually was winning the gold in the European in 2001.  I am hoping to teach some of my granchildren to play mini bridge during the Summer holidays.
