Club Competitons
Finals week commences August 26th 2024 and you need to be available for this week. The Sundays before and after this week may be used if the weather is bad.
Finalists may not practice on the Collingwood green on the day of their final.
Fiona Charlton organises the open ladies' knockout competitions and Paull Charlton organised the men's.. All finals, including the veterans' section, are played in the club's finals week.
Typically, with the men, there is a backlog of knockout rounds to get completed before each round's deadline. This year the finals are a week earlier so there will be less leeway for allowing people to complete their rounds late. So please avoid the risk of being knocked out due to running out of time by making arrangements to play as soon as possible. It is usually the player who is named first in a match who offers dates and provides a marker where needed but there is nothing to stop either player making arrangements in order to complete on time. The triples and pairs matches are hardest to arrange so please concentrate on getting these organised!!
Paul Charlton organises the open men's knockout competitions where the finals are played in the club's finals week.
Richard Tweddell organises the veterans' competitions which are usually played on a Saturday each month (dates in the handbook), as well as the veterans' knockout competitions where the finals are played in the club's finals week. For some of these competitions your playing partner is picked at random. Richard's contact details are in your handbook in the section headed 'Saturday Competitions'.
Please help your clubmates by offering to mark matches, when needed and if you have benefitted from someone marking in one of your games then make sure to return the favour.

Competition draws - TO BE ADDED AFTER MAY 9TH - click the links below to see who is playing who and dates to complete each round. FYI - the draws were done by listing all entrants on a spreadsheet, setting it to hide them from view and then getting them in the order of play by allocating a random number to the unseen names and sorting them in numerical order.
