Members, delegation holders and other volunteers may be interested in the insurance cover the Club holds.
TBIB (Tony Bembrose Insurance Brokers) provides a full brokering service to the Australian Bridge Federation, State Associations, affiliated Clubs and members. Currently the ABF has arranged three main forms of insurance through TBIB and NSWBA affiliated bridge clubs such as Peninsula are automatically covered under these policies. See the ABF website http://www.abf.com.au/about-abf/insurances/ for full details.
A quick summary of these polices follows (taken from NSWBA Insight Issue 4):

We hope you have an enjoyable Christmas break with family and friends.
For those that will miss - or are already missing - their regular bridge sessions we want to remind you of our sessions over the Christmas - New Year week:
How many will play on Christmas Eve?
The Sloman Cup completed in December with congratulations going to Jocelyn Bertram and Chris Duggin ahead of Ray Hurst and Hans van Weeren who were just ahead of Ray Bragge and Tom Wykoff.
The best eight scores from the ten sessions were aggregated, with up to three different substitutes allowed. Eleven pairs managed to meet these tight conditions.
This is a placeholder waiting for the official report, but unofficially 144 of us enjoyed a great day of bridge, food and fun. If you weren't there, you might wonder just what Sue Evershed is doing...
Check the Christmas Party photos, mostly be Len Evershed - thanks Len!
Around October 2018 Sandy Carter and I decided to move from the green to the red section to improve our bridge.
Initially this was quite daunting as many players have been in the red section for quite some time. We arrived early but still seemed to have to start a new table in the next row as everyone had “their” spot.
However, it turned out it really didn’t matter what time we got there as we always were able to find a table and play in the red section - so it was an unfounded fear.
The Committee has received indications of concern from some of our green section members who see difficulties progressing to more advanced playing at the club - in particular to other sections as they see the red section being generally "full".
We are aware that there are a range of issues involved affecting different members and intend to brainstorm possible improvements with the help of representatives from our sub committees and others who would represent these different aspects.
If you have any thoughts you would like to share, please send them to the President, Sarah Young, on
Dear all,
In December, we had a very successful and fun Xmas party. A big thanks as always to the team of helpers who made it all possible.
As the year draws to a close, I wish you and your families a happy Xmas and a peaceful New Year.
Happy bridging!
Sarah
