It’s aim each year is to field three teams of  four who can join the Wednesday and Saturday competitions. The Club has over seventy members most of  whom meet regularly on Tuesdays at the clubhouse for an informal roll-up. Arrival at 10am and home by around 1pm. On three or four occasions each year, in spring and summer, the members also play in the evening, again very informally, following a BBQ meal in the clubhouse.
