About our competitions
We currently aim to hold four competitions annually.
Eileen Harding Handicap Shield
Eileen Harding Handicap Shield

 

This competition is held annually in memory of Eileen Harding, who was one of the earliest club members, and a regular, and successful, player until she was reluctantly forced to quit due to deteriorating eye-sight in the later years of her life. 

Players are allocated a handicap score, which is based upon their current performance.  This used to be based upon results at the Club over the preceding year, but is now based on their EBU NGS ranking shortly prior to the event. Thus, on the evening of this competition, a pairing must significantly improve upon their previous average performance, in order to have a reasonable prospect of winning.

Robin Sutton Trophy
Robin Sutton Trophy

 

 

2015 saw the inaugural competition for the Robin Sutton Trophy. This competition will be held annually in memory of Robin who was not only one of the founder members of our Club, but held the position of Chairman and Director of the Club from its inception, right up until his death in August 2012.

This competition is organised as a “Mixed Experience” event in which the competing pairs each consist of an experienced club player and one of our newer, less experienced players, with the pairings selected randomly.
