    Communication with members

    The Committee wants to ensure that effective communication takes place with all Club members.

    Email contact - This is our preferred way of communicating to each of our members. If you can use email, then please use this if possible, as it is less costly for the Club. If you use email but have not been receiving emails from the Club, we might not have your email address.

    Please send it to Len Evershed or fill in the sheet on the notice board.

    Postal communication - If you do not use email and require AGM information to be sent to you by post, please write you name on the form on the notice board in the club.

    Swiss Pairs winners

    A great win by Sandie Rooke and Alan Davies at the Swiss Pairs event on 22 March.

    They were hotly followed by Marieta Borthwick and Vivien Eldridge and Terry and Lois Rothwell who came equal second.

    It was such a well organised and fun evening with 13 tables, despite the torrential rain during the early part of the night. We were lucky to have Joan Butts to introduce the evening and point out the different aspects of play and scoring when taking part in an IMPs scoring event like Swiss Pairs.

    The full results can be found (for a while at least) on our Results page.

    Website review

    Peninsula Bridge Club is going to revamp its website to make it more representative of the large and vibrant club that it represents.

    This involves many aspects such as its design, structure, and functionality and of course the content it presents.

    We'd love your help in reviewing what we have and what we want. If you have used our existing website or have used any other bridge club website, we want to capture your views of what works well and what doesn't. We have a simple form below to help capture your thoughts in a way we can use. Please give us your views - and submit a comment many times if you have thoughts on lots of pages!
