Early Autumn tournaments coming up

As the Summer draws to close (although with the current heatwave across most of the country, it might not feel so much like it!) a number of tournaments are coming up soon across the country in Middlesbrough, Glasgow, Warrington, Holmfirth, Nottingham and Lancaster.

Looking ahead, there's more coming later in the Autumn in Edinburgh, the Winter Matchplay in Milton Keynes and Nottingham Nomads (again), before the end-of-year Twixmas tournament leads into the new year for the Northern Ireland championships in Belfast and the Isle of Wight tournament in Shanklin.

If you don't fancy the chilly weather, why not try the Continental Championship at the end of September in Bucharest, with an early bird and a main event; or take a week-long trip to Malta for MISO for an early bird, late bird, main event and also incorporating the Seniors World Championship this year.

For more details on these events, and events further in the future, please see the main calendar


Cleveland - two separate one-day tournaments on Saturday and Sunday in Middlesbrough, organised by Trish Matthews.

Glasgow - one-day tournament on Saturday in Milton of Campsie, just outside Glasgow itself, organised by Ross MacKenzie.

Warrington and Holmfirth run back-to-back over this weekend with a one-day tournament on Saturday in Warrington, organised by Wayne Kelly and Caroline McLaughlin's one-day tournament on Sunday in Holmfirth, just on the opposite side of Manchester.

Nottingham Nomads: the latest edition of Stewart Houten's one-day tournament series on Saturday in Mapperley, Nottingham. Also look out on the main calendar for the final Nomads tournament of the year coming in early December.

Lancaster: after running a hugely popular tournament earlier in the year, Rebecca Wilkinson is running another one-day tournament in Lancaster on Saturday 21st October.
