Club Competitions (Outdoor)
The club Competitions for 'outdoors' take place throughout the summer and short mat during the winter. Club members can sign up to play in any of the competitions by putting their names down on the lists which are on the notice board in the club house. The competition manager will then work out the draws and display them on the notice board together with the dates that each draw will need to be played by. Competitors at the top of the draw should then offer their opponents three dates to play their game and when agreed, book a rink using the diary by the club house entrance.
Singles games will need a marker to assist the players and score cards should be used. These will then be handed to the competition manager to update the draws.
Each competition for 2022 costs £2 which should be paid to the competition manager.
