It’s not surprising that so many bridge players feel such a sentimental attachment to The Young Chelsea. The club was founded nearly 50 years ago, and since then has been a home from home for countless lovers of the game, and the breeding ground for many of England’s greatest stars. If you haven’t yet been to its new premises in Shepherds Bush you really should; you won’t find a better standard of duplicate anywhere.
The Young Chelsea also hosts the London Super League, a teams event set up by its manager Nick Sandqvist, which again I heartily recommend. I’m on a team alternately captained by my friends Paul Martin and Mark Lehto (both excellent players), and although we were relegated to Division Two last season, we’re having a great time trying to claw our way back to Division One.
