Competition Winners - Best Yearly Averages with Recent History Explained

The table below shows the winners for the best average score on each of the Club sessions after COVID.

Notice, particularly, the increased sessions available showing Club growth & diversity. No accolades were given in the preceding missing years as explained below.

There were no accolades passed out during the Covid period, and these were resumed in 2022 as tabulated below, as averages competitions, but just for the honour with no awards of any sort made.

Monday Morning & Tuesday Evening sessions started sometime in 2015, but no official statistics were ever recorded for the Monday Morning Stepping Stones session, until an averages competition was commenced on 8th April 2024.

We are just about to start out on the road to having Club Championships, with stratified results, so watch this space......

The table below, shows the winners of the best average score for each session after COVID

The table below shows the winners for the best average score on each of the club nights prior to COVID. During this time, individual Cups & trophies were awarded to the winners of various cups & competitions, but as time went along, our members chose not to be presented with these awards, and so rather than store them, we elected to scrap all these in 2021. At the same time we chose not to continue with an overall winner, as most of our members had started to select to only play in certain sessions, and not all. The cup competitions have all disappeared, and only sketchy references remain in the guise of AGM minutes.

Prior to this, by examining AGM minutes & newspapers of the time, we find that the original session in 1953, was a fortnightly Monday evening session, which did not last long, and within three months, this had changed to a weekly session to meet demand. The Thursday evening session was added in 1960. It is not known when the averages competitions or any cup competitions were started, as all records prior to the above table, have been lost in the ethers of time.
