Letterhead & other club templates

These club templates are in various appropriate formats, generally including Word (.docx) format for standard documents. They often contain sample text as well as the club's visual branding and are editable as appropriate. Many embed the club's Roboto font in the template (hence the large files sizes) so that you do not need to download and install this font on your computer.

If you want to use Word, you can download the relevant Word template by right clicking on its link and then selecting the Save As option. This will allow you to then edit the flier template as you wish on your computer and save it as your own document.

Some of the templates are available in both colour and black and white formats each using the appropriate logo.

ABF Masterpoint Scheme

From the Masterpoints Secretary

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.

The club wants to encourage and celebrate positive behaviours and identify and appropriately respond to other behaviours that might threaten our goal of enjoyable bridge for all.

Here is the club's Code of Conduct (maintained in our Playing Rules):

Image of the COVID virus

A member's concern

A member sent me this message and agreed to it being published anonymously:

"I know that there have been almost no cases recently in NSW but I also believe that we should be as COVID-safe as possible.

Bridge players are a very susceptible cohort so I believe that it is up to each of us to do our best (despite low case numbers).

Getting started with StepBridge

If you are looking for online bridge in the same format as a regular club session, with rounds with different opponents, then StepBridge is an excellent platform. I am happy to help any member get started on StepBridge - contact me on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or by phone.

If we can get a number of Peninsula players booking in to the same StepBridge session it might almost seem like a Peninsula game online.
