Week one of the Canberra congress has been very well represented by Peninsula members. We have seen some wonderful results especially from some of the newer and novice members who have come through our bridge education. Heidi Colenbrander and Ray Hurst came 3rd in the 0-20 Super Novice Pairs and Susan Jensen and Sandie Rook 2nd in the 20-50 Rising Stars Pairs. We had two teams in the Super Novice Teams event which was played over two days. There were 14 teams in this event and the Van Weeren team of Hans, Tom Wykoff, Heidi & Ray came 2nd, and the Rooke team of Sandie, Susan Jensen, Jen Ardill and Suzanne Cole took 4th spot. In the pairs datum Hans & Tom came in 3rd with Jen & Suzanne in 5th spot.
The Loomes team of Maurice & Rachael and Vivien Eldridge and Alan Davies did very well to come 5th out of 28 teams in the National Red Plum Life Masters Teams Championship. This was played over 3 days. Vivien & Alan did very well in the pairs datum to come in 8th in a strong field.
Margaret & John Rogers came 5th in the Penline National 500 Swiss Pairs in a large field of 84 pairs. Well done.
