Bryan Stephens, TreasurerHon. Treasurer, Bryan Stephens

 

Bryan was born in Stanmore in 1940. He left school at 16 and started with a bank.

 

Twenty five or so years later, holding a management position, he left and joined one of his customers who specialised in the sale of private residential care homes, hospitals and nursing homes, in order to set up and head a new department which raised funds for care home purchasers.

 

Bryan retired in the early 90's and, through one of his mother’s friends, was introduced to bridge, which subject he has taught for several years.

 

Married to Margaret since 1963, Bryan has three grandchildren.

 

Bryan has written two books on bridge – The Road Across the Bridge – aimed at those who want to learn bridge from scratch and the second book is titled – Retracing Steps Across the Bridge – aimed at those folk who know how to play what he calls basic bridge but who miss out on many of the little intricacies which make the game so interesting.

 

Being so heavily involved in bridge, (according to his wife) Bryan decided there may be a life outside, and in February 2010 answered an advertisement for the Treasurer’s job with the local U3A which he finds both absorbing and interesting.
