So you have a burning question or suggestion about the way the club works and players interact? Why do we turn over the contract after the opening lead? Why don't we turn it over until the opening lead? Why don't we all wear name tags. Are players allowed to stop the play and claim the rest of the tricks?
Ask the club guru! Simply send you suggestion or question to
The questions and answers will be published on this site as an ongoing resource of frequently asked questions.

Congratulations to our Marieta Borthwick and Heidi Colenbrander for winning the top prize of free entry and an ABF grant to attend the Restricted Butler Pairs at the Hobart ANC (5-6 Aug 2018). They earned the top non-handicapped score, with an amazing 76.79 in the second session.
We rely on busy volunteers to sell our prepaid vouchers (PPVs).
On the whiteboard at the south end of the room is a list of the currently trained PPV volunteer sellers. Directors are able to ask any of these people to sell PPVs at a session of bridge. If none of these people are present, directors are able to sell PPVs too. The list is updated as the need arises so the one posted on the whiteboard is the most recent.
PPVs are $7 each if paying by cash with a special price of $65 for ten only if purchased by card/EFTPOS.
If there are any questions about PPVs please contact Cassandra Mitchell on

Congratulations to our 2017 Club Pairs Champions, Cath Whiddon and Ann Small, and also to all our members who did so well at the Gold Coast Congress.
March is a busy month, with the National Open Teams event, the Margaret Smale Inter-Club Teams as well as our Annual Swiss Teams Congress. All these events rely on volunteer help, so please help with catering and tidying if you can. Requests for helpers will be on the notice board or on Pianola.
The Committee wishes to inform all members of some compulsory tax changes which will take effect from 1 September 2017.Peninsula Bridge Club is a non-profit association, but is still subject to taxation rules. We are fortunate to have Bob Whiddon as Treasurer, who is a qualified accountant, and who has been ensuring that the Club meets all its financial responsibilities.
This year our annual turnover reached an annual rate of $150K and as a result, we are required by law to register as a GST entity. This means we must pay GST on our annual subs and table money, but that we also qualify to get a GST refund on GST included in goods and services we pay for. In order to register for GST we are required to first have an Australian Business Number (ABN) and tax file number (TFN). This has now been done and we have registered for GST but have not yet received details on this from the tax office (ATO).
