Here are the final results of Season 3 of our Under 100s Championship.
Congratulations to Mick Brown and David Holmes, who took the top 2 places in what will be our last Under 100s competition, as a result of the ECF's new grading system.
An Under 1500s competition will start in October, with the Winner and Runner-up earning a plaque on our Trophy Board.
Can I please take this opportunity to remind everybody that ECF Membership Fees are due now. You can renew your Membership from here. Please note that, if you have held ECF Membership at any time in the past, you MUST use the Renew option - NOT the Sign Up option. Only use the Sign Up option if you have never held ECF Membership in the past. If you have previously held ECF Membership, and you select the Sign Up option, the system will create a second Membership No. for you, which will have ramifications for the Rating System.

We played a very enjoyable friendly match at Market Harborough on Thursday. It went down to the wire, with the scores level and the last game on Board 3 looking like being a draw. But Mick Brown played an excellent end game and we ended winning 7.5 - 6.5.
Our Under 100s League is not just online now, and is including games played face to face.
Here are the latest standings.
Despite a very pessimistic weather forecast and rain early in the day, the event went ahead as planned and was a great success. Well done to the organisers and those who took part.
We had several members of the public, including the Club Founder, Richard Waldrum, who took up the challenge to play against us, occasionally with success. Also several promising juniors had a go. We hope to see many of them at our Club in the future, and hopefully to become new members.
Here are a selection of photos from the event.
We are pleased to be part of the Ashby Sport initiative that has been set up by the Town Council.
A Fun Day featuring over 20 different sports is taking place on Saturday 3rd July, on the Bath Grounds, between 10 am & 4 pm. We will have a plot where we will invite members of the public to play, and to answer questions on playing at all levels.
You can find out more on www.ashbysport.com . We hope you will come along and enjoy the day, and maybe have a game or 2.
The last game has now been played, confirming that Mick Brown is the winner, with Rene Butler in 2nd place. Congratulations to Mick and Rene, and thanks to all who took part.
A new Season will start soon.
