    Ho Ho Ho Christmas 2019

    Lots of food and lots of friendly faces at this year’s Christmas Party. Check out the photos!

    Thanks to all those volunteers who helped – you are the club’s Christmas present to our members.

    (And particular thanks to Gayle who dropped out of playing on the day to fill in for the expected help who was unexpectedly ill on the day! And also to Andrew Ikin for doing all sorts of unexpected tasks on the day - David.)

    Thank you from Chris

    I would like to thank Peninsula members for this sensational surprise. It could not have happened at a better time as I was struggling and this will give me a new lease of life.

    The new electric wheelchair gives me my independence back and allows me to get to bridge under my own steam on the tough days. Maybe even play some night games

    It will give some respite to Marieta and John, my bridge chauffeurs, who can attest I am not smiling all the time.

    After buying the chair there was some money left which I will put toward air conditioning and mobility aids for my home. My circumstances have changed recently and I may have to move so I am holding off until that is finalised.

    Congratulations to Bronwyn Neal and Lynne Talmont who won the 2019 U10 Individual event, played over the year on the first Wednesday of the month from March through November. Each individual's best seven scores count. This is the first major event in which many of our newer players compete.

    Bronwyn and Lynne won the event as equal first ahead of Anthony Colenbrander, and then in equal fourth place, Janelle Halliwell and Cathy Nelson.

    The event will be repeated in 2020 for those with less than 10MP at the start of the year.
