Join us for some relaxed kitchen bridge on Sunday 14 July at 3pm at the Peninsula Bridge Club.
Get together your foursome or just come along and we'll find you a table. Friends and family welcome.
BYO drinks and nibbles. Tea and coffee will be available. $3 members and visitors.
Each table will deal their own cards and score or not score as they wish. No masterpoints, no Bridgemates, no stress! Inquiries to Beth Randall.
Sometimes the director might be busy with another call, and at other times it may take them anything up to 10 seconds to arrive. What do you do while you’re waiting?
This article is not going to answer that – instead it will provide some advice on what NOT to do in various situations:
You’ve revoked (or so the opponents claim – as if!)
Players often ask about alerting requirements.
This summary constitutes part of the ABF Alerting Regulations, and is intended as a brief guide to players.
Players should be familiar with the full regulations, and should try to support the fairness and enjoyment of our game by complying with both the letter and spirit of these guidelines.
Are you adept with taking photos on your phone? Perhaps you could join our club photographer group.
This group of volunteers takes photos of happenings at the club both spontaneously as a roving photographer or by request from an event convener. They are the key step in showing you photos on the website and in the newsletter, and on our club TV slideshow.
If you feel able to join this group, keep reading and let me (David Farmer, 0415 715 743) know.
In the interests of preserving the history of our club, we have attached two documents that illustrate the early stages of our significant bridge education program:
The Peninsula Bridge Club started from humble beginnings in the 1960s with 1 January 1967 deemed to be the Foundation date and 1967 the year that really saw the Club get going together with its formal establishment.
The Early Days - 1960s
In the early 1960s, Bill Bale, his wife and Ada Sloman travelled to Lindfield for their bridge - a long journey - and explored the possibilities of a local venue. Ada was a member of the Newport Women’s Bowling Club and gained permission to use one of their rooms. So in September 1966, an informal bridge group commenced - the Peninsula Bridge Circle.
