The Presidents Cup

The Presidents Cup started on Saturday 25th July with a bit of light rain but all matches were completed before the heavy rain later. It concluded in the sunshine on Sunday 26th with some close matches, with one in particular going into three extra ends.

Congratulations to Tom, AlanP, Anita, Eileen, Bob, Liam, Richard and Peter Saul – the quarter/semi finals will be played on Monday 17th August.

Thanks to all the markers and Brian for the organisation.

Here are the results .. Presidents Cup

Presidents Cup 25-26th July

The draw for the Presidents Cup has been made (click link Presidents Cup) so please make sure you know what day you are playing as the competition is being run on a daily basis this year. The first round each day will start at 10:00 with the second round starting approximately 12:00. I have got markers for the first round each day, but will need markers for the second round so if you are knocked out of the first round and are available to mark in the second round please let me know.

As we are restricted to using just three rinks and will not have time to run three rounds in a day, Alan and I have decided the next rounds (semi final and final from each day) will have to be played on Monday 17th of August starting at 10:00, with the winners from the daily finals competing against each other on finals day.

Bar opening from 4th July

Members will wish to be aware that the bar will be reopening this weekend, Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th July, opening at noon each day.

We are also planning for food to be available. Another email about our new food arrangements will follow.

Thereafter we plan to open on Friday evenings and at weekends. We shall be assessing the need for mid-week opening after the coming weekend.

The reopening of the bar will undoubtedly bring pleasure to many members. However, we are required by government regulation and guidance to operate rigorous hygiene and safety procedures. We shall need and welcome your support as members to uphold them. A summary of these arrangements is set out below.

We are a members’ club and welcome members and their guests, and of course new members. Members will wish to be reassured that we shall not be acting as an overspill venue for locals who cannot gain entry into the more restricted spaces offered by pubs in the village.
