ADVANCE NOTICE

Following the success of the Super Wednesdays during the summer, and a very positive survey response from those who played regularly in the last few weeks, we have decided to continue holding these events on the alternate Wednesdays from the Super League.

Our Super Wednesday sessions will resume in the summer after the Super League Spring 2024 season ends. The first game will be on 22 May, the next on 5 June and then weekly until the Super League Autumn season begins.

The next Super Supper session is on Wednesday 12 June and will feature a cheese‑and‑wine buffet.

Your results in these sessions do not affect your EBU NGS.

The entry fee is £15 per player (£5 per junior). For catering purposes, and to ensure a session is not cancelled due to too few entries (fewer than eight persons), please register online via the website.

Registering in advance helps the club make catering plans. Please note that there will be a wide range of non‑alcoholic drink options.
