The League season starts on Monday 17th September with the last playing day on Friday 26th April 2019. Details of the fixtures will be available shortly on the League’s website.

The date for the Closed Championships cannot be agreed until next month but it is hoped the Tournament will be held in mid-April at the Coastal Academy Sports Hall as in previous seasons.

The provisional date for the Handicapped Singles Tournament is Saturday 2nd February and, for the Junior Combination, Friday 15th March. The venue for both these events will be Windsor’s St James’ Hall.
