Anne Small and Cath Whiddon are the 2017 Club Pairs Champions. Well done to them both!

The Runners up were Jim Fairley and Bob Whittaker. In third place were Ray Bragge and Ken Watson.

Many Peninsula players are heading for the Gold Coast Congress.  It started on Saturday 18 February. Good luck and I hope the sun shines on their cards!
