Presented by Mark Murray and Jeff Clayton, everybody competes in six games, in the traditional classroom setup:
- Three heats matches using the current 15-round format -- opponents drawn at random;
- Then split into groups of eight for the latter stages:
- 9-round quarter final (#1 plays #8, #2 plays #7 etc);
- 9-round semi final;
- 14-round final.
- The grand final in Group A plays out as the tournament showpiece.
Doors open at 9am for a 10am start, with free tea & coffee available on arrival.
A buffet lunch will be provided at 12:30pm and light refreshments will be on sale from the bar throughout the day. (Please advise of dietary requirements, where necessary.)
The grand final starts at or just after 5pm, and we conclude with the prizegiving by 6pm -- prizes will be on offer for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in every group.
Admission costs just £15pp and you can secure your place now:

- By cheque (address available on request).
We have capacity for 40 contestants; spectators are also welcome.

The Club is in a prime city centre location:
- If you're travelling by train, get off at Temple Meads and high frequency bus routes 8 & 9 (up to every six minutes combined) depart from the station forecourt. These will drop you off at the Hippodrome just a short walk from the venue.
- If you're coming by car, you can avoid the cost of city centre parking with the Park & Ride buses from A4 Bath Road, A4 Portway and Long Ashton -- please check http://www.travelwest.info/parkandride for details including times of last buses back to the car park.
Accommodation: the following are prices researched for 28 February 2015 for a double room as at 28 September 2014, in hotels around the centre of Bristol:
- Travelodge Anchor Road: saver rate (non refundable) £35, flexible (refundable) £58 - hotel parking £7.50 for 24 hours.
- Hotel Mercure: £69 for 27 Feb, £83 for 28 Feb (on-street parking can cost approx £4; secured NCP £15/24hrs).
- Hotel Ibis: Saver rate £148, flexible rate 2 nights 158. £10/24hrs parking at nearby car park.
- Premier Inn: Double room £90 (no onsite parking)
- Novotel, Holiday Inn £109.
Will also look at getting a table near at a restaurant near the venue after the event if enough people are interested!!
Happy to field any questions, and if you need any help with planning your journey or your stay, send me a PM!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
