The very popular Winter Pairs League will again be held through the Winter Months. It will be held on a Wednesday morning. Depending on the number of entries there may be two sessions, (one at 10:00 and one at 12:00), or if it is very popular there may even be two divisions. You cannot choose which session it depends on how the fixtures work out. It will begin in mid-October to allow for time for entries and to organise the league. Entry in the League will be £12 per team. You can register three players per team to help avoid any postponements. Entry will be available to Full Playing Members or Winter Members.
