    Suzanne takes the prize!

    Suzanne Cole is quite rightly looking as pleased as punch as she held the winning ticket for the Christmas raffle.

    Susan Jensen managed to post this on our Club Facebook Group - and I have placed it here for the wider audience.

    Sale of PPVs

    We rely on busy volunteers to sell our prepaid vouchers (PPVs).

    On the whiteboard at the south end of the room is a list of the currently trained PPV volunteer sellers. Directors are able to ask any of these people to sell PPVs at a session of bridge. If none of these people are present, directors are able to sell PPVs too. The list is updated as the need arises so the one posted on the whiteboard is the most recent.

    PPVs are $7 each if paying by cash with a special price of $65 for ten only if purchased by card/EFTPOS.

    If there are any questions about PPVs please contact Cassandra Mitchell on ppvs@peninsulabridgeclub.org.au or 0421 764 300.

    President's Letter - January 2018

    December was another busy month for Peninsula.

    I went to New Zealand In November and had a wonderful 2 week trip. Whist I was cycling and kayaking, the new committee was working very hard to take on their new roles and ensure the continuing smooth operation of the Club. Renewing fees and distributing diaries began in December, and we are set for another year of bridge. 

    A highlight of December was the Christmas party, which I was very sorry to miss. The room was full to capacity and a great time was had by all. Thanks to the many helpers and organisers, who together make these events possible. Thanks in particular to Gayle King who has come on to the committee this year and did a marvellous job of organising the event.

    New Year Day celebration image

    New Year's Day bridge is on!

    There was some uncertainty about whether the Club will be open on New Year's Day. The answer is yes!

    Cassandra Mitchell has kindly volunteered to direct the session, so if you wish to start the year on a bridge note please come along.

     

     

     

    The guru

    Ask the guru

    So you have a burning question or suggestion about the way the club works and players interact? Why do we turn over the contract after the opening lead? Why don't we turn it over until the opening lead? Why don't we all wear name tags. Are players allowed to stop the play and claim the rest of the tricks?

    Ask the club guru! Simply send you suggestion or question to guru@peninsulabridgeclub.org.au - or drop a note to the guru and place it in the Suggestion Box to be found soon outside the office.

    The questions and answers will be published on this site as an ongoing resource of frequently asked questions. Some may also lead to other responses such as a director pre-session chat, an informative article or even a suggestion to the Committee regarding a change of operating procedure or playing rule.

    2017 Sloman winners

    Vivien Eldridge and Alan Davies triumphed in the 2017 Sloman Competition, ahead of Beryl Dawson and Yvonne Perkins.

    This annual competition is held on Mondays across the whole year.

    No-one took a photo on the day so this photo is repurposed from one taken a couple of weeks earlier when they won the November Swiss Pairs.
