and all those looking to develop a new skill

We warmly welcome players with disabilities. Our club is a single storey, flat-floored building which is able to fully accommodate wheelchairs (in toilets, our café rest area as well as all the playing areas). We also have a hearing loop, large-index playing cards, disabled parking spaces and two electric car charging points.
