Host
Robin and Hilary Levett
Hilary and Robin Levett live near the coast in St Leonards-On-Sea close to their daughter and granddaughters. Hilary learnt to play bridge when she was 20. Robin, like many people, took it up when he retired early from his job as an IT manager in local government. Hilary spent her working life running a boarding cattery, animal rescue sanctuary and “puppy walked” guide dogs. They are both very active in several local bridge clubs, both as directors, teachers and scorers. Both are qualified EBU directors and also Hilary has completed the “short” EBU teachers’ course. They are also both involved every summer in the EBU Congress in Eastbourne. They enjoyed working extensively on Mr Bridge holidays for nine years and are now very excited to be continuing with BMB. Their aim is to host casual, relaxed and friendly bridge holidays.

Host
John & Rebecca Ronan
John and Becky live in the lovely Vale of Belvoir, have one daughter and two grown up grandchildren. They are both qualified EBU Directors with John also now directing on BBO. They have been playing bridge for over thirty years and enjoy both competitive and social bridge. Becky also plays for the county. John runs occasional teaching workshops for beginners and improvers for their local club. John retired after a long career as a Chartered Bio-medical Scientist working for the NHS. Since retirement he’s taken up golf again and is also a member of the Lions Club International. Becky worked as a graphic designer and since retiring volunteers for the National Trust, the local library and more recently as an administrator for their Covid vaccination centre. This, along with their allotment, takes up any spare time. John and Becky have been working with Bernard Magee Bridge since its inception, having previously been with the Mr Bridge team, and thoroughly enjoy being able to combine their passion for bridge with travel and the opportunity of meeting diverse and interesting people.

Host
Elaine Duff
Elaine learnt to play bridge at university but didn’t start playing duplicate until 2008 when she took up the game again after a ten year break. She plays regularly for both Hitchin and Royston Bridge Clubs, where she has encouraged players to improve through workshops and delivered many seminars and beginners’ classes on cruises. With one of her bridge partners, she has entered some of the local and county competitions. Elaine was born in Yorkshire and although she has spent over 50 years in the south, she still sees herself as a Yorkshire lass. She is a proud grandmother of a boy, 17, and two girls, 15 and 9. She delights in being with them and finds that entertaining them is one of life’s pleasures. As yet, she has not been able to interest them enough to learn to play bridge. Any spare time is taken up with visiting the gym, reading fiction, mainly mysteries. Elaine loves travelling and having lived in Australia for three years in the early 2000s, she and her partner visit there once every few years. In the large part of her working life, she was a teacher of mathematics and was lucky to be involved in consultancy work and lecturing before fully retiring in 2011.
