Draft: Young Chelsea Marathon—Autumn 2020
Young Chelsea Marathon—Autumn 2020

Reserve the first weekend in October!

By popular demand, the Young Chelsea is once more to hold a traditional marathon pairs event using matchpoint scoring. The 24‑hour event will take place over the weekend 3 & 4 October 2020.

The start time is 2.00pm on the Saturday and the finish should be around the same time on the Sunday. If you can't commit to playing the whole 24 hours—or are worried about your stamina—please feel free to add a third player and play as a threesome.

The entry fee is £70 for each regular member of the Young Chelsea.

If you are a non‑member you have a choice. If you are planning to play regularly at the club you will find it more economical to become a member by paying the annual membership subscription (currently £60). Otherwise you can pay £85 which gives you entry to the event and short‑term membership of the club during the event and for two months afterwards.

If you are a bona‑fide student there is no membership fee for you and you can enter for free thanks to the generous sponsorship of club members Margaret & Martin Nygren, who are covering your reduced entry fee.

Places are limited, so reserve yours by sending your entry fee, ideally by bank transfer, to our Metro Bank account:

Account name The Young Chelsea Bridge Club Limited
Sort code 23-05-80
Account no 35584692

 

Please use your surname as a reference and email the club at manager@ycbc.co.uk with the names of your pair or threesome.

The first prize will be a guaranteed minimum of £1,000 per pair/threesome. (It will increase as the number of entries allows.)
