Confirmed dates for our Penang trip will be from Monday 3rd November until Saturday 8th November. There will be 2 sessions of play on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with a morning session on the Friday. We are still awaiting quotes from several hotels that Robert visited. I will get back to everyone once our venue has been decided. Also hotel options to follow.

There will be a $100 subsidy from our club  to all members taking part in the trip.

The venue for our Penang trip will be the OZO hotel, 166 Jalan Argyll, Georgetown, Penang.

The hotel has a rooftop pool and a dining room on the 25th floor with excellent views.

The hotel has a website. We will be playing in the dining area which the hotel has allowed us to use. 

In lieu of paying a fairly high price to use the conference room, players for each session will be required to purchase  a "snack package" for 25 MYR (approx $8).

This will contain 1 hot and cold item and tea/coffee. 

We have negotiated a special rate for members -:

Superior room - MYR  295/ night  includes 1 breakfast or MYR 323, includes 2 breakfasts (approx $100 - $110)

Deluxe room MYR 330/night includes 1 breakfast or MYR 356, includes 2 breakfasts (approx $110 - $120)

Members can make individual bookings via

sales.penang@ozohotels.com     PLEASE NOTE BOOKINGS MUST BE MADE BY 5 OCTOBER

Be sure to include in your email "bridge4u" to get this special rate. 

Singapore airlines flies from Darwin to Penang with a stopover in Singapore for approx $750 - $800 return.

Airasia may be flying direct from Darwin to Kuala Lumpur during the dates of our trip, but currently are only flying up until 25th October. 

I want to say a special thanks to Robert Graham for all the time and legwork he put in on the ground in Penang negotiating the venue for us.

Cheers  Noel
