The
winners of this event were the Baker Team with Michael and Margaret Draper, Lynn Baker and Yvonne Perkins. The runners up were the Duignan team with Sue Riley, Ada Duignan and Rachael and Maurice Loomes. This was played over three weeks in an unusual format to allow for all 8 teams to play each other. Well done to all and thanks to director Colin Mitchell.
Peninsula's Melbourne cup day was well attended and enjoyed by all. Thanks to Sue Riley and Rachael Loomes for organising a fantastic lunch and Lyn Hamill for the sweeps and to everyone else who helped on the day. Agnes Cootes won the most elegant hat prize with a stylish concoction from Vinnies. It was good to see so many new players in the supervised section enjoying the day and the bridge. The winners of the supervised section were Arthur, Jenny, Paul and Judy.
Quite a few teams from Peninsula participated in the Margaret Smith Memorial Teams day at the Manly Leagues Club. It was a most enjoyable day and a few Peninsula teams won prizes. For full results see the Bridge Game Info web-site.
The winner of the Stebbins competition was Rachael Loomes. Chris Duggin and Jocelyn Bertram were first in the Sloman and Anne Small and Ron Smith won the Padman Trophy. Congratulations to all!
As usual everyone ate too much, complained about the trivia quiz, demolished Sue's profiteroles in record time, played plenty of bridge, drank lots of champagne and punch and generally had a good time. We had the largest number ever (138) and Avalon meats were very worried that some would go hungry but there was plenty of food. Terry and Lois Rothwell did a great job supervising the beginners and Sue Riley and Vickie and Kerry Busteed worked very hard to organise the day. Thanks to everyone who helped including Colin Mingay (pictured).
