Bridge In Aguilas, Hotel Puerto Joan Montiel

Nigel and Pauline are both retired professionals – Nigel from teaching and Pauline from teaching via a long nursing career. They have played bridge together for over 30 years, are both National Masters and have represented the North East in county matches.

Nigel is an experienced county director and has been the chairman of his local club for longer than he cares to remember. Over the last few years he has run a very popular ‘supervised improvers night’ guiding and encouraging relatively inexperienced players to gain confidence in their ability to play at a higher level. Pauline is a club director who has experience of organising local and county congresses and has been actively involved in promoting bridge in the North East. Their main interests in life outside of bridge are travel and their two delightful granddaughters.

Their aim is to ensure that guests leave us smiling and with good memories of stunning locations, enjoyable bridge, and of making new friends.

Jacky has worked with Arena for many years and has wonderful memories of the many holidays herself and her husband Bob were involved in and the lovely people they met along the way. She is a retired teacher and for many years also helped with the running of her local playgroup.

She has been playing bridge for as long as she can remember and enjoys playing at every opportunity. With Bob she had many triumph's at congresses around the country and has also played for the county on several occasions. Her three children are a great support to her although she is still trying to persuade them that they need to take up bridge!
