Fran Bramzel,  On Line Manager, fran@bridgeclublive.com Essex Girl

Fran learned to play bridge at the Acol Club in London (UK) and played Duplicate and Rubber bridge in almost all the clubs in and around the area. After a degree in Education, she made a career in Pr & Advertising. She has been a successful professional charity fundraiser and also run her own retail business for many years.

Fran has a great love of words and language - creating humour whenever possible. At the bridge table, she can often be found howling with laughter and trying to offer the best 'one-liners' - the bridge almost forgotten.
