The Garden Cities is the national teams-of-eight championship for EBU affiliated clubs. The winner of London’s single-session qualifying heat will be eligible to play in the Regional Final and, if successful there, in the National Final. Both the Regional and National finals will be held face-to-face, but the venues have yet to be announced.

Clubs may enter as many teams as they wish, subject to space restrictions at the venue, but the LMBA reserves the right, if necessary, to restrict the number of teams per club.

Clubs must be members of the LMBA. Players must be members of the EBU and of the club they represent but do not have to be LMBA members. It is not necessary for the same eight players to represent a team at each stage of the competition but no player may play for more than one club.

Entry fee: £80 per team (£10 a head). Cash payment of the fee on the day is acceptable, or pre-payment may be made by bank transfer (see below for details)

Entries: Advance entry is required and should be made by 15th March 2025. Entries may be made on the form here, or by email to LMBAentries@gmail.com, putting “Garden Cities” in the subject line.

Enquiries may be made to Chris Duckworth at christinejduckworth@gmail.com or on 07768 693168.
