WINTER COMPETITIONS
Do NOT enter if you’re unavailable on Finals Weekend. (10/11 April 2027)
(Note: If necessary some Finals may be on Friday 9th April)
If there are fewer than 8 entries in a competition, it will not take place.
Closing date for entries is 25th October 2026
There is an entry fee of £2 per entry.
Payment can be made online using the payment terminals on the concourse or
by online bank transfer (Sort Code 20-74-09, Acc No. 50606340, Reference: Comps).
Cash payments can be placed in the grey safe in the office with a receipt slip.
NOTE: For pairs and teams, only the team leader should enter and pay for the team.
The Men’s and Ladies’ Championship competitions are our blue ribbon events. To make
them special, as long as there are more than 15 entries in either case, the top 8 players will be
seeded (based on last year’s winter competitions). Players who lose in their first match will
go forward into the Men’s or Ladies’ Plate competitions.
