Premises Update
I am pleased to be able to share good news regarding our future clubhouse.
Council value our club and the community benefits which it delivers. They have been in close communication with the Club throughout this year.
It is allocating a large dedicated room within the new Warriewood Valley Community Centre for the club, designed to meet our particular needs. The room will be dividable, so that lessons , practice play or small sessions can take place in conjunction with regular duplicate sessions. The whole area will be used for our larger events.

Trumps proved victorious at Peninsula Bridge Club on Sunday 29 September in a closely fought battle for the Metro North Interclub Pairs Challenge, a few points ahead of Peninsula Bridge Club, with North Shore, Balgowlah-Dee Why and Manly Leagues filling out the remaining positions.
The event saw 72 pairs represent these five major clubs, the largest field ever for this event with its 36 tables somewhat higher than the three tables in the first time this event was run in 2008. Peninsula and the event organisers, led by convenor Cath Whiddon, were applauded for hosting a great event. Thanks to our volunteers who did not play and gave up their time to make it a great day: Bill, Joan, Bob and Andrew, also to Gayle who organised the catering.

IT MIGHT BE TIME TO STEP UP...
Are you in Supervised like Jane and me, and getting an itch in your "Opening Hand"?
Then you should think about having a go at a higher level. It's easy to settle into the comfort zone of Supervised and to think that it's just too hard to step up, but many who we all know from Supervised are dipping their toes in at the higher level already, and totally enjoying themselves - just ASK them!
