We are holding the 2nd of our ‘special tournaments’, the Major Ridout Cup, on Sunday 4th August – the current holders are Lucy and David Parker.
This long-established trophy event is named after Major Ridout and dedicated in memory of him by his wife, a key member of our club for many years.
The competition takes the format of mixed doubles where partners are allocated by the Organisers on the day from among those entering.
An attempt is made to even out the strength of the pairings by applying handicaps where appropriate – so some couples may start each game on + or – 15, for example; it’s great fun and makes for a lively afternoon tournament.
All members, especially those new to the club, are most welcome to come along to participate and it will be FREE for full members, with an entry fee of £4 for U3A and Off Peak members.
Please register on the day, by 1.30 pm at the latest so that the organisers can sort out the pairings, ready for a 2.00 pm start.
