Frances Hinden started playing bridge seriously at Cambridge University, where she won the Portland Bowl, the Junior Camrose, and gained a silver medal in the first European Universities Championship. Since then she has won many UK events, including multiple Camrose trophies and the Premier League, Gold Cup and Spring Foursomes twice each. She played with Graham Osborne in the Open team for the Mind Sports games in Wroclaw in 2016 and she and Graham are now regulars on the English mixed team. Frances is also vice-chair of the EBU’s regulation committee and a member of the EBU Board. Frances is retiring from full-time employment in April and is looking forward to a more relaxed lifestyle involving travel, eating, drinking and bridge.
