Competitions 2024

The dates for the 2024 Fixed Day Competitions are in the Club Calendar, and entry forms are available. Follow the links from the Competitions Header above.

The Early Season Pairs originally had a limit on entries of twelve, which is the most that can be accommodated in one division, but there are fifteen pairs interested which gives the opportunity to have two divisions. This should mean the games are more even. If you are interested please fill in a Competition Entry as above.

Closing date for entries for the Early Season Pairs, the Singles League & the Progressives is the 14 April 2024. This will allow the leagues to begin a little earlier in the season.

The Early Bird 2 Bowl Singles.

Because the EBS need a marker for each game, the logistics of the competition structure only works in multiples of six entries. There are currently 12 entries. I have created a reserve list for any further entries, which will only become active if there are 18 entries in total. If you wish to play entries will be allocated on a first come basis.

Pitch In with Sutton Winson

The Club’s Insurance Brokers, Sutton Winson Ltd, are inviting Club Members, (and their families), to contact them for a Home and/or Car insurance quotation when a Member’s personal Home and/or Car insurance is being considered for renewal or a first purchase, and in doing so, enable a small contribution into the Club's finances from the broker. The scheme is called ‘Pitch-In’.

For each completed quotation (obligation-free, and regardless of whether the quotation is then accepted), the Club will receive a small fee from Sutton Winson. If the quotation is accepted and a policy is purchased, the Club will receive a further fee. Click on the image below.
