Session for Junior Players only: Thursday 5 March, 9.30am -12noon.
We trialled this in 2025 but numbers dwindled as we got near the end of the year. We agreed to trial it again in March and April but we need at least four tables to make it worthwhile. It will be the first Thursday morning of the month and any junior players are welcome. It is an opportunity for our junior players to earn C points. You can come with or without a partner. Thank you to Christine Judd who has agreed to be the director for the sessions and to Denise Chisholm who will be the sub. |
