This website is undergoing an upgrade in January/February 2012. This is expected to include:

  1. A change in the site name from northernbeachesbridge.info to bridge-game.info (though there will be an automatic redirect from the old name to the new name for several months) - DONE
  2. A major upgrade of the Joomla content management software to the new 2.5 version (with a short period at version 1.7 along the way)
  3. A change in its template design (in part to make it faster)
  4. Extension to more bridge clubs in the region including Trumps Bridge Centre at Mosman and North Sydney Leagues Bridge Club at Cammeray (and others who may be interested) - club parts of the site will be at addresses like peninsula.bridge-game.info
  5. An automated eNewsletter to keep subscribers informed of news and new content
  6. Adding more features of value to bridge clubs and their members - this might include allowing participating bridge clubs to link to their part of the site via a subdomain (such as peninsula.bridge-club.info in addition to bridge-club.info/peninsula) if they wish

Please update your literature to refer to the new name http://bridge-game.info. Let me know if you have any suggestions or issues, or would like to add your club to this site.

2011_Winners Lyn Smith and Cath Whiddon (see photo left) wrested the Manly Daily Pairs trophy for 2011 for Peninsula Club with a blitzing finish in the final session. "After our poor showing in the morning, I didn't think we had a chance," Cath noted in surprise.

The Peninsula Club pair beat runners-up Lisa Dunphy and Maris Taylor from the Harbord Diggers Bridge Club, who also finished strongly, ahead of the third placed pair, Peninsula's Alan Davies and Vivien Eldridge who were leading the field at the half way mark.

Peninsula Club also did a great job of hosting the event, including wine and cheese at the close.

This is the fourth year of the event with the Manly Leagues Bridge Club winning the first two, Narrabeen Bridge Club winning last year, and now Peninsula Bridge Club taking the honours. Look out for the 2012 event in the middle of the year.
