Men's Pairs Championship
Description

The annual Men's Pairs Championship is run as a single session event at the same time as the Ladies' Pairs Championship. The two events are held towards the end of April each year. In even numbered years on the 4th Thursday and in odd numbered years on the 4th Tuesday.

Procedure

Both events are run as arrow switched pairs tournaments with the men at the North end of the room and the ladies sitting at the South end.

The table money is £2.50 per person. Visitors may participate for an extra £1 but only pairs of club members are eligible for the prizes which are as follows:

  • The winning pair (in addition to being presented with the trophy) share a cash prize of £12
  • The second placed pair share £8 and
  • The third placed pair share £4.
2023 Competition

Our annual Men's and Ladies' Pairs competitions were held on Thursday 27 April in the club. Rather than have two small competitions, we held one joint movement with only an overall ranking list. The highest highest men's pair was Haydn Roberts and Pete Nickson who are 2023 Men's Pairs champions. Men's runners up were Ian Blackhurst and Peter Sumption, and third place was Bob Sneddon and Terry Jones. Here they are with the corresponding ladies' pairs winners:
