World champion at GLBC teams congress

Seven-time world bridge champion, Karen ‘Kate’ McCallum is a professional bridge player from New Hampshire, USA who has been playing bridge for over 50 years. Kate (pictured 3rd from the left) and her teammates Axel Johansson, Peter Gill and Liz Sylvester played in our recent congress and told us a little about herself.

Kate is currently in Australia coaching the Australian National Women’s team towards the World Championship in China later this year. She won her first world championship in Perth, Australia in 1989, and is thrilled to be back in Australia (this is her tenth visit!) — she may even end up living here. Kate competed in our congress in the lead-up to playing in the upcoming congress at the Gold Coast. We wish her luck and hope that, if she does decide to move to Australia, she considers settling in our beautiful region.
