Weekly Programme
We run three regular sessions per week. Monday evenings are Graded or Handicapped to give less experienced players some encouragement. The Wednesday evening session is Open and is more competitive. Saturday afternoon is a more social event and frequent visitors from the Otago Club are welcomed. Hand records are provided for those who want them at the end of all sessions.
