Andrew Robson is widely regarded as one of the finest Bridge player/teacher/writers in the world today. When not at his Club, Andrew travels the country, inspiring thousands at the many Charity functions and Master Classes he leads.

As a player, Andrew won the world Junior Championships in 1989, the European Championships in 1991, and the list of tournament successes during and since is too long to list. His finest achievements over the past three years are to win the British Gold Cup twice (with David Bakhshi, a lead-teacher at ARBC); and to win the Silver Medal in the 2004 World Individual.

As a writer, Andrew began in the early Nineties writing for the Oldie, the Spectator and the Express on Sunday, and has now been writing for Country Life for a decade. He is most famous, however, for his daily column in The Times. His clarity of style has seen him become universally acclaimed, and he is the author of Times Bridge: Common Mistakes, Collins Need to know? Bridge (finally, all his basic teaching material under one cover) and Bridge Secrets (due out later in 2007). He has also produced many topic-related booklets on the game.

Andrew’s teaching is also legendary. Entertaining, simple, brilliant…his teaching has been described as this and much more over the years. Having constructed all the courses taught at ARBC and constantly fine-tuned them, Andrew has ensured a most rewarding – and very feasible - passage for the complete beginner on their path to achieving what they wish from Bridge; whether it be an accomplished Duplicate player or a happy social player.

When not Bridging, Andrew loves to ride his mountain bike. He lives in Putney with his wife Lorna and two young daughters, Hannah, aged six and Mimi, aged five.
