Bridge Club News
Our Club is participating in the NSW Online Pairs League. The Summer Season for 2023 begins on Thursday evening January 12th.
Noleen Cregan and Suzanne Cole won this nationwide competition with an (adjusted) score of 70.9%.
The club Teams Championship was held over three Thursdays in November and nine teams participated in an enjoyable event.
Congratulations to Alan Davies, Vivien Eldridge, Sandy Carter and Nerida Gillies who won with John and Margaret Rogers, Lynn Baker and Chris Duggin not far behind.
We hope to run more Teams events in 2023.
Following on from the Teams event in October, the Pairs event was held at East Lindfield on Sun 27th November.
Last Saturday and Sunday a group of dedicated PBC Restricted players headed to Wollongong to do battle in the State Restricted and Novice Teams.
After 9 months, this closely fought competition concluded with Ian Hobbs and Roslyn Braund the joint winners (59.7%) ahead of Jane Cummings and Anne Moulston (58.5%) and Barbara and Liam Gavin (58.4%). Congratulations!
Although this was an individual competition, many players played as a pair throughout. The best 7 scores were counted.
Thankyou to Jen Ardill and Vicki Busteed for convening.
A successful Charity Day was held in the clubhouse on Wed 19th October.
We raised $3,120 to add to our Charity account which has $1,464 and will donate $4,500 (once the figures have been confirmed) to One Meal (Northern Beaches branch) who specialise in providing meals and other services directly to the needy and other humanitarian local support groups.
Thankyou to everyone who donated and helped and Rob Scott for organising.

On Saturday Sept 3rd, Peninsula hosted a special event in honour of Charlie Mitchell.
Charlie Mitchell was a long term member of PBC, and he was well known for his excellent bridge skills well beyond our club. His contributions to our club were remarkable. He was a committee member, a director and chief director for many years.
Congratulations to the winners of the competition Brian Ody and Trevor Laughton. Lyn Smith and Jocelyn Bertram were the runners up.
Thank you to Sue Riley for directing.
After the game many players stayed back to enjoy a glass of wine and a chat with fellow PBC members.
