All evening sessions next year will start at 7pm. This means Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
Friday evenings will now be very special. Not only will there be the usual cheese and wine but you can now come without a partner. You will be paired up or will play with the director. So instead of sitting at home watching the Bill come along and have a friendly game of bridge!

Peninsula players have been doing well all over the place. Heidi Colenbrander, Ray Hurst, Marieta Borthwick and Sarah Young won the Bathurst Novice Teams.
Trish Giles, Yvonne Perkins, Janice Steward and Sue Cooper won the Melbourne Cup Finesse Teams.
Anne Small, Vivien Eldridge, Cath Whiddon and Alan Davies were the best Peninsula team at the Margaret Smith Memorial teams day at the leagues club. Well done to all!!
We had a good time joining in the country-wide celebration of the Melbourne Cup. Jo Jarvis and Barb Anderson saved the day with last minute sweeps, Sue Riley organised a wonderful lunch, Bill and Trevor did a great job at the bar and everyone was a winner.
There were a lot of glamorous hats but Jen Ardill was judged to be first past the post. Peggy made a great jockey and her little whip kept her partner under control!
Sue Riley presented cheques for $4570 each to the MV Hospital Auxiliary and Warringah Pittwater Rural Fire Service. Peninsula Bridge Club's fund raising helps support these two very worthy local organisations. This is the largest donation the RFS has received!
The money is raised from the two charity days as well as from the second hand book recycling table and the plants (thanks to Robin Hoey).
I would like to thank Jackie at Hot Lox in Newport who generously donated a hamper of Aveda products (valued at $350) to be raffled.
Thanks to all those who made the lovely soups and desserts and donated to the hampers and bought raffle tickets.
