There is a separate section for Novices only on Monday nights, which is played in the back room, and is open to non-member novices until the end of August.  All level of players are welcome to play in the main room and we would again ask that Monday nights be supported by members.

We have many new novices who may not know people of their own grade in the club. To assist with this, Fran Ronan, Tournament's Officer, has set up a What’s App Novice Group, where you could look for a partner whenever needed and get to know each other. It’s always a good idea to have more than one person to regularly play with. If you are interested in joining this group, a text from you to Fran Ronan will be your consent to be added in. Her number is 086 165 9097. Don’t be shy, it’s a great way to get going! Any Bs who would like to be in a similar group can also get in touch with Fran.`
