| Jackie Clinton Venture Pairs |
On Saturday 14th March at 2 pm our annual Jackie Clinton Venture Pairs event is to be held at The Old School. This competition is held in memory of past-Chairman Jackie Clinton and the winners are awarded the Clinton Cup. As Jackie requested, the format for this event is that one player in each pair will be less-experienced and the other will be experienced. Anyone may participate but no pre-arranged partnerships are permitted. Participants will be separated into the two categories of less-experienced and experienced based on their handicap at the beginning of March and will be paired by a random draw on the day to play a maximum of 24 boards. This is a light-hearted and fun event with a light tea served halfway through, finishing no later than 5.45 pm. The cost is £5 and all proceeds go to the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Participants must sign up in advance; a sign-up form is available here or email Club Secretary Neil Watts.

| Monthly Prizes |
In addition to our annual competitions, members may win unlimited free plays based on monthly attendance at face-to-face Club sessions. To be eligible to enter the monthly prize drawing, members must have played at The Old School at least 3 times during the preceding month. Those who have played at least 6 times will have 2 entries to the draw and those who have played at least 9 times will have 3 entries. The draw will take place at the first session of each month before play begins and two winners will be chosen at random on the picker wheel. Winners are then excluded from the following month's prize draw. A list of eligible members for both current and previous months can be seen by selecting Competitions on the menu.
For those members who like to play on Tuesday evenings, a prize is awarded each month based on the handicapped results of at least 3 sessions in the month.
