As well as entering teams in the Bournemouth and District and Dorset leagues, the Club runs 3 competitions, played through the season, so you can always have a competitive game every week even if your team is not playing.
The Tony Buckfield Handicap is a quick play tournament with the time allowed to play for each played adjusted for your grade.
The All-Play-All allows you to play up to 2 graded games per season against any club member
