Competitions

Outdoors for men, there are handicap events, the Open Handicap & the Middleton Shield which are of obvious interest to new members, and also Drawn Pairs/Triples where the teams are drawn so well worth entering. There is also the Handicap 7-12, which  is for players with a handicap between 7 & 12 but is not handicap event as such.

Indoor there are no handicap events but there is a Junior Championship which mirrors the Junior Handicap mentioned above. There are also  Men's and Ladies' Drawn Pairs/Triples.

Once the competitions are drawn the draw sheets are displayed on the wooden shutters near the hot drinks machine (for the men) or on the notice board (for the ladies). They can also be view on the web site from the Indoor and Outdoor main pages.


In any particular draw the top player(s) are the Challenger(s). It is the Challenger's responsibility to contact their opponent(s) and to offer dates, generally after checking that a rink is available. It is also their responsibility to book the rink when a date has been agreed and to arrange a marker where needed.


At the end of the match the score card should be signed and left in the appropriate place. The winner should not be entered on the competition sheet, this will be done by the competition organiser.


Important Note: Entering a competition indicates that the player expects to be available to play on Club Finals Day, if successful in reaching the final
