Canberra triumph

Congratulations to Sue Evershed and John Simmonds for taking home 1st Prize in The National Novice Swiss Pairs Championship after 5 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss. Well done!

Members' Corner

As a Club we love to celebrate the very special birthdays of our members who are turning 90, 95 or 100. We rely on our members to inform someone on the committee, at this point Trish Berry, if they are aware that one of our players will soon be celebrating a special day.  Then, as a Club, we can acknowledge this special occasion.
 
Just a reminder as we have been experiencing some hot and now more humid weather that as a Club we endeavour to make playing conditions comfortable for most of our members.  To this end we try to maintain the temperature in the room in the 23-25c range.  The air conditioning seems to vary in different parts of the room, over this we have no control.  If you have found yourself cold on some occasions it would be worthwhile bringing something warmer to place around your shoulders.
 
The following players have earned promotion cards for ABF masterpoints :

Northern Beaches RFS update

We received this message recently from Ken Hughes of the RFS which we share with you:

 I just thought as our major supporter over many years I would let you know what the Northern Beaches RFS brigades have been doing this fire season.  I have been a volunteer for 40 years and have never seen anything like the current situation.

 As you can imagine we have been very busy throughout NSW over the last few months. We have served from Port Macquarie in the north, south to Narooma and west to Lithgow, Tumut and the Snowy Mountains.

What's on in Practice Play in January

The Club has decided to rename our "Supervised Sessions" to  "Practice Play" to better reflect what goes on.

Nothing else has changed and our Practice Play session directors look forward to seeing you there!

The Club subsidises a lesson once a month in the Tuesday & Friday Practice Play sessions. So for 1 voucher (or $7), members can review and refresh with Cath Whiddon – in January the topic is ALL ABOUT NT openings and responses and PLANNING THE PLAY:

  • Friday 24 January 9.15 – 11.30
  • Tuesday 28 January 2.15 – 4.30

Any questions? Talk with Anne Small 0422 185 733 regarding Monday 6.45pm practice play session (finishing 9pm), Vickie Busteed 0411 65 204 re Tuesday 2.15 – 4.30pm and Terry Rothwell for Fridays 9.15 – 11.30am.
