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.
The new Friday Rookie section had a great launch month in December, with seven tables in its third week.
We are very sorry to note the death of Ron Smith, who had been an excellent card player and long-time member of the Club.
Happy New Year to you all. I hope that 2018 is a happy one for you.
