As a club we try to help members who find themselves at a session unexpectedly without a partner - due to some last minute problem of their partner or due to a partnership communication failure!

For the last 12 months we have relied on fill-in volunteers who are happy to be called to see if they are free to come in and play. We would like to reward these volunteers and attract more to join their ranks - so that this service will work even more reliably than it does now.

So from Fri 10 May we will not only offer the fill-in volunteer a free game when they come in, but also a free game voucher to use later.

The club has six events a year where it serves alcohol, e.g. Christmas, Melbourne Cup, Club Congresses. Our liquor license requires that the person serving must have a Responsible Service of Alcohol certificate (RSA).

As part of our volunteer culture we would love some of our members to become RSA certified and help out at these events. The club will organise and pay for the training. You can do it face to face (about 6 ½ hours) or if you prefer, at home at your computer. This will take 5 to 6 hours and is self paced.

These events are important to the club and they have a long history. However, the club must comply with NSW legislation and if we don’t have sufficient RSA volunteers, this sadly may mean that no alcohol can be served or ticket prices may need to be increased to pay for certified servers.

I am pleased to announce the start of a new Honour Board pairs competition, the Cath Whiddon Cup, for our many "super novice" players. In 2019 this will be restricted to players with less than 15MP as at end March, but this level might vary in future years.

Entrants will play as a pair over three Mondays 20 and 27 May and 3 June. Check the event details.

In announcing this competition the Committee and Tournament Sub-Committee are responding to the fact that more than one third of Peninsula’s members have less than 15MP.

The club celebrated Betty Bevins' birthday on Monday 15 April. Flowers accompanied a tribute by the President.

Betty has been a stalwart member of the club for many years - and it was great to see the well wishes of the other Monday players.

Thank you to Annegrete Kolding for the photo.

Members may be interested to know that Warriewood Square is changing its approach to parking, introducing 2 and 3 hour time limits to most of its parking.

You can find the full details of the new parking arrangements on the Warriewood Square website.

On Monday 1 April, the President announced a new honour board special event focused on the 40% of our membership with less than 15 masterpoints.

The event will be named the Cath Whiddon Cup, honouring the huge contribution made by Cath to the club as a whole and in particular to the club's education program that has been its significant source of new members since 2010. More than 400 of our current members joined the club during that time.

The new pairs event will be played in 2019 over three Mondays - on 20 and 27 May and 3 June. This is a red point, members-only event. Entrants must have less than 15MP as at the end of March 2019.  

We are a volunteer-run not-for-profit club - this supports our friendly culture and keeps our table money levels below many other clubs. Of course it means we also regularly look for volunteers to take on roles in the club.

Currently we are looking for - drink servers at our major functions, office support for events, additional dealers, fill-in players, Facebook support - see below to see if one of these roles might suit you.

Dear members,

April sees the start of the Autumn Individual Competition on Mondays which is a great opportunity to play with different partners over 4 Mondays (only three scores count so you can start on Monday 8 April).

On Sunday 28 April, Peninsula hosts the annual Swiss Teams Congress - a great day for players of every level of experience. Swiss Teams means that you quickly find yourself playing with similarly experienced players and it is a lot of fun. The sign- up sheet is on the noticeboard and you can sign up as a team of four, or as a pair to be matched up.
