Coming up ...
  • The tournament season has now ended. The season will start again in September. The calendar has been updated for the 2008-09 season (click here to view it). The main changes to be aware of are:
    • The entries for the league/knockout have to be in earlier this year (29th August).
    • The Mixed Pivot Teams, Junior Pairs and Inter-Club Teams have all been discontinued due to lack of support in recent years.
    • The Avon vs Cornwall Western League match has returned to swapping between Home and Away.
    • The AGM has moved. It will now take place at 6pm on Wednesday 6th May 2009 at Bristol BC, prior to the final round of the county league.

    In the meantime, have an enjoyable summer!
