Results are posted on the club website initially, but are also included in a national table - so you can see how you did against a much wider field of opponents!

Table money for these sessions is £5 pp - all of your money goes to CiN, as the club pays for the admin. Want to donate more? You can do this via bank transfer to the club - please use bank reference CiN 2025
