our bank account.
This is the easiest
method for the club however you can pay with cash or card but this is more time
consuming especially on the first night back so if you are paying at the club
can you please do so once the juniors have started playing as this will be a
quieter time.

Between 6:30-7:00pm we will organise casual games
with advice and training provided by experienced players.
Between 7:00-7:30pm
there will be paired games providing experience of tournament style play.

pairings for the juniors.

if being used, parents are more than welcome to sit in the playing room.
