A GUIDE TO CLUB AFTERNOONS
SPONSORED BY
Club Afternoons are held throughout the season, usually on a Thursday afternoon.
The 2021 dates are as follows:
Thursday 20th May Thursday 1st July
Thursday 27th May Thursday 22nd July
Thursday 3rd June Thursday 12th August
Thursday 10th June Thursday 26th August
Thursday 17th June Thursday 2nd September
Thursday 24th June
The afternoon normally constitutes two games of four ends each and one of six ends. Teams are drawn randomly for each game.
The rink fee per person is £1. This covers the half-time hot drink, and the cost of the prizes.
The prizes are played for on the day and are for the best aggregate score from both a Lady and a Gent. There is also a 'Lucky Scorecard' prize draw.
In addition, there is an ongoing competition running throughout the season for the accolade of 'Verity Frearson Club Afternoon Player of the Year'.
Points are earned on the basis of three points if you are part of a winning team in a four-end game, and four points if your team wins the six-end game. There is one point for a drawn four-end game and two points for a drawn six-end game. Thus a player winning, say, one four-end game and the six-end game, will have a total of seven points for that afternoon.
A player's best eight scores over the season are added together and the player with the highest score will be the 'Verity Frearson Club Afternoon Player of the Year'.
