Club Internal Competitions 2023

Hi All,
The Committee would like to offer the following Club Competitions for this year. They will be played from late May to the end of August with the Finals Weekend being Saturday / Sunday September 9th/10th.
Holding the Finals over a weekend gives us more leeway to schedule finals for the days players are available. Please make sure you are available over this weekend if you enter as we don’t intend to change the finals dates.

The Sub Committee will seed all players entered into two groups (experienced / less experienced). One player is drawn from each group to make up a pair.

Play on dates will be set for each round – players may wish to try and arrange to play before the date if problems with availability.
The Final will be played on the weekend Saturday / Sunday, September 9th / 10th.
