Peter Clarke and Hans van Weeren triumphed by winning, with team mates Jill Blenkey and Jeff Conroy from Newcastle, the Restricted Teams Championship.
More than 50 Peninsula members journeyed north to play in the annual ABF Gold Coast Congress played at the Gold Coast Convention Centre. They went with hopes and our club's best wishes for success and for a great time playing bridge, and some certainly triumphed.
