I recently emigrated to NZ and will be settling in the Wellington area (probably Kapiti Coast) in about two weeks' time. After that I'm keen to start a serious partnership, possibly with a view for trying out for the national team in a few years. I'm an advanced level player with a number of county-level successes; ideally you'd be of a similar standard, or better than me to help me up my game to expert level.

In the UK I enjoyed a homegrown 5cM weak NT (short club with transfers) system but am willing to play anything, particularly a split balanced range system (1C/1D both 2+, one NAT or 12-14 BAL and the other NAT or 18-19 BAL) like Bell/Gold use. I'm familiar with a lot of "expert standard" conventions.

Anyone living in/near the Wellington area and interested, please do send me a PM. (Also does anyone know which are the best clubs to go to around Wellington?)

Thanks,
