Markers Training & Awareness 2025

Markers Training  - Saturday 17th May 2025 - 1pm onwards

 It is essential that we have competent markers in order to hold our clubs singles competitions each season. Plus as a club we often host visiting team matches and county or MDL singles games where markers are required. 

So once again we will be holding a Markers Training Session which is a refresher for those who have marked before and as an intro to those new to marking. 

Remember without markers there will be no single matches!

This year we will be having a team markers quiz plus measuring exercises on the green. 

 This session will also be very useful for number 2's in a triples game or number 3's in rinks matches.
