All players will take part in seven 9-round games, followed by a showpiece 15-round grand final between the top two players from the Round Robin to complete the year. The event will use a classroom-style format.
Our venue is the four-star Hallmark Strathallan Hotel in Birmingham, just a couple of miles from all central bus and rail hubs and with connections from Birmingham International Airport.
