In June, the Committee reported to members regarding the proposed changes, which are necessary for the ongoing sound management of the Club. The Information Session was well attended and generated some excellent questions, suggestions and discussion. The Committee has now commenced recruitment of a part time administration helper, who we hope to have on board in July or August.
There was a fabulous turn out for the Charity Pairs evening on 16 June and it was an enjoyable event for all. Many thanks to all who helped make it possible. Approximately $1600 was raised on the night which was a great result!
This month we have our Swiss Pairs Congress on Sunday 30 July. If you haven’t been in it before, come along with your partner! It is a fun day, with the room packed with tables and players of all levels.
Many of you have come to the Club through our wonderful beginner lessons. We have 2 new courses starting up - a Wednesday evening course starting in July and a Monday morning course starting in August. Please spread the word to your friends or put up a sign at your local coffee shop or club. Recommendation is a powerful force and can introduce someone to a whole new social activity which they might otherwise not get to enjoy.
This month, I must have been told at least 10 times that people are coming to play at Peninsula because it is a friendly club. It is so lovely to hear that new members and visitors experience a welcoming reception when they come and play. It is a wonderful aspect of our bridge community and I thank you all for your part in creating that positive supportive environment.
Happy bridging!
Sarah Young
President
