Jeremy was born in 1951 in North London . He started playing bridge at school and entered the London School 's League(80+ teams in those days and run by Maureen Hiron). In the second year his school team won the league when the auction at his team mates table was 2H(weak) by East all pass which made and at his table, without interruption, the auction by North South went 1D 1NT 2D 2NT 3D 3NT. That made for no very good reason and left him with a reputation for bidding 3NT with more regularity than some players, so much so that one of his first presents from his wife, Heather, was a 3NT bidding card enclosed in a frame!

First duplicate, first local point and first congress achieved playing with his father. An early congress saw him playing with a school partner against Omar Sharif. This would have been a pleasurable occasion were it not for the fact that partner's father who was watching and was an occasional solo player thought it appropriate to teach Omar's partner (a leading French international) some of the finer points of bridge.

Most successful partnership was with Ian Pagan which culminated in winning the trials and getting 3 Camrose Caps. Currently playing with Keith Bennett and hoping for some more caps! Jeremy's team, which also includes Heather and Rob Cliffe keep winning Stage 2 of the trials and falling at the final fence. Winner of lots of domestic trophies including the Hubert Phillips and the Grand Masters, twice.

Involved in some bridge administration and is currently a member of the Laws and Ethics Committee and also a regular Appeals Chairman. Jeremy also writes a regular column for English Bridge and is a member of the editorial board.
