Looking for partner South England for real world and BBO bridge

[SimonFa]

My regular partner/mentor has moved away and I have ended up playing with a number of people who play more for social reasons and I'm finding the lack of progress frustrating. I am keen to improve and start attending regional and national tournaments.

 

My standard is probably a genuine BBO Intermediate.

 

I have been playing seriously for a year, most of it SAYC although now playing some Benji, and have spent plenty of time studying books, which I have bought and am willing to share. I've just bought Bridgemaster 2000. My old partner reckoned I was a good learner and rarely made the same mistake twice.

 

I am based in rural North Dorset and am willing to travel up to an hour to play in a regular club night and for practice/reviews. I can also play on BBO most evenings and weekends.

 

I am happy for partner to be either a keen and ambitious beginner, so we can develop together, or someone more experienced who wants to invest time in someone who is the wrong side of 50 and wishes he started playing 40 years ago and is trying to make up for lost time!
