July 7th Len Smith Drive
This is an annual event open to all members. The Len Smith Drive consists of short matches, of four ends, with partners and rink being redrawn after each session. Players keep their own scorecard for each session, treating themselves as ‘home’ and the opponents as ‘away’. They build up a total over the whole event. The player with the highest ‘home’ total is the winner.

Every year we have a stand at the Flower Show, not showing flowers, but on hand to inform visitors about the club and its activities.

A club league competition using the Australian Pairs system.
Throughout the season a record is kept of our scores on every rink in every club match, and the names of the members playing on each rink. At the end of the season the winner is the player with the highest average score over their best 10 results.
All members are encouraged to enter our internal competitions. You do not have to be very good or very experienced. They are just good fun.
