Regardless of how far a student wants to go, Joan is dedicated to helping them get there.Joan began playing at the age of 25.

She was the National Teaching Coordinator with the Australian Bridge Federation for 12 years, where she used her tertiary education and psychology qualifications to create a comprehensive Teacher Accreditation Programme.

There truly is something for everyone and, as Joan has seen time and time again, lifelong friendships are forged at the bridge table!
