A bonus episode for you,
Do you play bridge? Or is this mysterious world alien to you?!
Andrew Robson has won so many of the top championships in the world and our country village has managed to engage him to teach some of his skills in aid of our much loved St Mary's Church in Overton on Dee.
What is the life of an International bridge player like?
How do you earn a living playing bridge?
Which other famous people play?
Is bridge a game of luck or skill?..either way it is high drama, with its language of "grand slams", "doubling" the stakes, "eve of battle", "springing a trap", "taking a finesse".
Bridge enthusiasts gathered in Overton Village Hall for their training day epitomise the qualities of team work, ethics and sportsmanship which make bridge "the game for a lifetime."

Creating an image of perfection for the show ring has been a winning way for Kinvara from a very early age and it was this professionalism which led her to be picked to play the part of Her Majesty for her 90th birthday celebrations at Windsor in 2016.
However it does take a life of dedication to produce this top level standard and getting used to disappointments is par for the course..

Dickie got his love of horses, dogs and all that goes with it from his father, who was a gamekeeper.
A "hedgekicker from the West Country" is how he describes his early beginnings at The Guards' Depot, which he also describes as a "working class finishing school".
At Knightsbridge barracks he then went through the Cavalry training and progressed up the ladder to becoming The Riding Master in charge of..." the jangling swords...cuirasses and 200 horses' hooves which still make the hair stand up on the back of your neck to this day."
