You can find the full details of the new parking arrangements on the Warriewood Square website.

On Monday 1 April, the President announced a new honour board special event focused on the 40% of our membership with less than 15 masterpoints.

The event will be named the Cath Whiddon Cup, honouring the huge contribution made by Cath to the club as a whole and in particular to the club's education program that has been its significant source of new members since 2010. More than 400 of our current members joined the club during that time.

The new pairs event will be played in 2019 over three Mondays - on 20 and 27 May and 3 June. This is a red point, members-only event. Entrants must have less than 15MP as at the end of March 2019.  

We are a volunteer-run not-for-profit club - this supports our friendly culture and keeps our table money levels below many other clubs. Of course it means we also regularly look for volunteers to take on roles in the club.

Currently we are looking for - drink servers at our major functions, office support for events, additional dealers, fill-in players, Facebook support - see below to see if one of these roles might suit you.

Dear members,

April sees the start of the Autumn Individual Competition on Mondays which is a great opportunity to play with different partners over 4 Mondays (only three scores count so you can start on Monday 8 April).

On Sunday 28 April, Peninsula hosts the annual Swiss Teams Congress - a great day for players of every level of experience. Swiss Teams means that you quickly find yourself playing with similarly experienced players and it is a lot of fun. The sign- up sheet is on the noticeboard and you can sign up as a team of four, or as a pair to be matched up.

12 teams from Brisbane Waters Bridge Club travelled south to our club on Sunday 31 Mar for the annual Peninsula vs Peninsula interclub teams challenge. Most travelled by ferry across Broken Bay and were picked up in a convoy of cars excellently organised by John and Margaret Rogers.

It was a very enjoyable day. Vivien pulled the event together superbly, helped by Ronnie as director and by contributions of time and food by many Peninsula members. Special mention to Barbara Anderson who spent half a day volunteering without playing. I believe we made a good impression on our guests!
