Traditionally the Russell French Invitational Teams Event is held in January each year, with the Central District Chair inviting CD clubs to send 1, 2 or 3 teams to participate in the event. 

However, the Competitions Convener, Angus MacDonald, has this year notified all the District Chairs of a New Red-Pointed Club Teams Championship to be held at the Clyde Bridge Centre on Sunday 19th April 2026.
There will be separate categories for Gold, Silver and Bronze teams. Each Category will be run as a 14-team round robin event, assuming each district sends two teams in that category. The Gold Teams event winners will be presented with the Spence Cup.   

Each District has been invited to send up to 2 Gold Teams, up to 2 Silver Teams, and up to 2 Bronze Teams to travel through to Glasgow for the event. 6 teams in total are invited from the Central District. 
The qualification date for each category of player is 31st December. Participants can play at a higher level, but not at a lower level. So a silver player can play at both Silver and Gold levels, but not Bronze. 
Participants in a team must All be HOME members of the same Central District club. 

Rather than organize a separate teams event for qualifying, the Central District Committee has agreed to run the Russell French Invitational Teams Event and the Club Teams Championship Qualifying Event as one event. 

All Central District Clubs are invited to send up to 3 teams to the event on 17th January 2026. Teams should be notified to the CD Chair, by your club secretary, no later than 31st December 2025. Teams should also be identified as participating in the Russell-French event only, and, if desired, qualification for the Club Teams Championship in Glasgow.

Further details will be sent to all Central District Secretaries shortly.
