The Comms team's goal is to establish effective and efficient communication options (see below) and to support event conveners and others in their use of these options. This support can vary from backup technical advice through to training in how to use a channel through to, where appropriate, the actual work involved in using the channel.

We held a very successful Charity Day on Wednesday 19th May with an attendance of 68 members. The day was both enjoyable for members attending and raised $2086. Together with money held in the charity account from before, the club will be donating $3500 to the Northern Beaches Rural Fire Brigade.
A big thank you to Rob Scott for his entertaining leadership on the day. Rob selflessly decided not to play so he could ensure the day ran smoothly. [Also to Trish Berry who together with Rob organised the event - Ed]
Five Peninsula teams travelled to North Ryde RSL on Sunday 23 May to compete in the 2021 Margaret Smale Metro North Interclub Teams, hosted this year by North Shore Bridge Club. This competition is in four categories: <100MP, 100-300MP, 300-750MP and 750+MP and ensures that teams with all levels of experience can compete and contribute equally to their club's chances of success.
Our two teams in the 100-300MP category blitzed their competition and took both first and second place. Winners were Sandy Carter, Nerida Gillies, Rob Scott and John Simmonds and runners-up in that category were Susan Jensen, Annegrete Kolding, and Jenny and Max Paterson.
Yeah, I know, partner has just make another mistake. We all make them and today it's definitely partner's turn. That's no good for our score but it doesn't have to be bad for my health! Frowning and getting crabby is bad for my health. Mistakes - partner's and mine - mess up our score but I'm in complete control of whether or not I frown so I'm not going to frown. So there.
Easier said than done, perhaps, so perhaps we have to work on our table presence in just the same way that we work on our finesses.

The Peninsula Swiss Teams congress will be held ON-LINE on Sunday 18th April 10:00 am. More information is available in this link.
This congress is facilitated by MasterBridge Online using the RealBridge platform. There will be two sections:
- Open
- Restricted (<100 MPs at March 01, 2021). Enter from the NSWBA web-site.
I’d like to give you an introduction to masterpoints and the work involved to have them appear in your masterpoint record.
As in other countries the Australian Bridge Federation (ABF) coordinates a masterpoint scheme. Its three main goals are to:
- Stimulate interest in Contract Bridge,
- Provide a means of measuring player achievements, and
- Assist with the financing of the ABF’s national and international commitments.
