    Image re Financial Statements

    Last call for yellow session cards

    This is reminder and last call for any remaining yellow session cards that past directors and other helpers may have accumulated and are not going to use before the end of August.

    That is our end of financial year and we need to know our liability on these session cards to complete our financial accounts. Read all about the stocktake and replacement of yellow session cards for new blue ones in this earlier article from our Treasurer.

    NOTE - this has nothing to do with green PPVs (prepaid vouchers)!

    Masterpoints in August and September

    Green masterpoints for these two months will be submitted as is normal but the red points for August and September club events will be delayed until the end of October.

    Cassandra Mitchell – the masterpoint secretary – will be away, but rest assured, the red points will come in time. Often these points are delayed in being uploaded by months and months because of various factors outside of my control so this isn’t unusual.

    If anyone wants to volunteer to learn how to process masterpoints for the club, please contact me on 0421 764 300 (NOTE: You do not need to be a director to process points). I leave for the United States around 21 August.

    2019 Swiss Pairs Congress wrap

    Our Swiss Pairs Congress was a great success, in large part due to the huge contributions from the convener Cassandra Mitchell (see her wrap below!) and a number of other key volunteers before and on the day.

    Have a look at the photos that Cassandra took on our Facebook Group. 

    Check the full results. Congratulations to Jocelyn Bertram and Lyn Smith as the most successful Peninsula pair in the Open field and to Ray Hurst and Nerida Gillies who were runners-up in the Restricted field.

    Kitchen Bridge success

    Our first day on Sunday 14 July was a lot of fun - six tables, jazz and BYO wine. See the photos on our Facebook group.

    We'll do it again one Sunday each month depending on other club commitments and the next session will be 18 August at 3pm.

    Most tables remained with their original four but a couple of tables swapped over half way so we are quite flexible, whatever works for you. Hopefully we can accommodate all comers, singles, pairs or foursomes.

    Red section player movement preferences

    In the third week of June Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon red section players responded to a survey about the possible movements trialled in response to the larger red sections since April. Thank you to those who responded.

    The larger red sections at these sessions arose from the successful graduation of many green section players who no longer need that section's particular attributes.

    Since April we have tried different movements to respond to these often larger table numbers, with these simply categorised as:
