Next Sunday – 22nd – is our St Georges Open Pairs. Open means anyone anywhere in the world can enter although in real life we won’t have too many from outside Huddersfield. However it’s a chance to have a go at a competition with an outlay of just £2 and maybe win a prize as 1st to 3rd gets something back.

We’re taking the trouble this year of advertising our Open events on Facebook, Twitter and our blog and we’re also emailing all northern clubs. There is an event on the Northern Calendar which is Wiggington Pairs in York so the top players will be there. Nice opportunity to try out your skills at a fun and friendly Pairs competition.

Think about it. Print out this poster and stick it on the fridge. Weather looks like it will be 15 degrees. Root out those red and white shorts…

We’ll email members as well and have paper copies in the shed.

 

These were uploaded yesterday and can be viewed under Club Info tab. Paper copies will be available on the day.

First monthly melee and before we all started Pete Cowley was presented with his trophy for winning the winter melee. There were 15 people there today but it was a bit cold… Only one player won all 3 games and that was Paul. 5 players won 2 games and as there were 5 eggs to give away Bob was the unlucky player who had the worst points difference with 2 wins. Table looks like this. We love chocolate but some of us were too cold to smile
