The two parent-child tournament is on the program this evening, again from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Now all players who normally train on Friday evenings have been invited.

Our traditional Christmas tournament for seniors will take place later in the evening. All seniors are cordially invited to participate. The tournament starts around 8:20 PM, warm-up play starts at 8:00 PM. It doesn’t matter what level you play at. You can register on the evening itself. A Christmas outfit is also appreciated!
