It's that time of year again where the sun is coming out and preparations are being made for Pershore's club championships.

This year is broadly similar to last year except there will be a greater emphasis on players being paired up against opponents of similar standard with top players earning byes in the early stages. This is to encourage players of all abilities to have a go safe in the knowledge they will have a fighting chance come round 1.

To sign up please visit the forms in reception or if you are unable to get to the club in time email me your entries at davebaldelli@gmail.com. You have until 5th May to sign up.

Fees are payable at reception. See below for more details.

Good luck
Dave Baldelli
