The 2017-18 programme has been launched – all members should have had it emailed to them and it is available to view here.
Please take a moment to read it and re-familiarise yourself with the rules (including entering, dress code and collecting ring etiquette), as well as checking for your allocated duty day so you can put it in your diary and make sure you contact the organiser well in advance.
Entry fees have increased marginally to accommodate rising venue hire costs, but we are still offering great value for money and of course a fantastic friendly competition atmosphere!
(NB there are gremlins in the code for the calendar on here so not all events are showing yet; they are on horse monkey and we’re working on having everything here too soon!)
(NB2 all events are now on the calendar!)
