Schedule

The tournament will take place on the weekend of 9th-10th May 2026 at Chesterton Indoor Bowls Club, Cambridge. It will consist of eight hanchan. The below is a preliminary schedule, but it is unlikely to change significantly.

Friday 8th May 2026

We'll have a welcome social meeting in a pub in Cambridge (most likely The Haymakers - confirmation closer to the date), probably with some friendly games of mahjong.

After the first day of the tournament is complete, those who are interested can head into town and we will go punting along "The Backs", where we can take in some amazing views of the historic University of Cambridge colleges on the banks of the River Cam (and have some fun). We'll do our own punting - hopefully we'll have enough volunteers to do the hard work! This will start at 19:30, returning by 21:00 and will cost around £9 per person. This will start and end at Scudamore's Quayside Punting Station. This is a 30 minute walk from the tournament venue, or we can organise taxis / car shares to get there as needed.

Following this, we'll go as smaller groups to some of the many restaurants in the area for dinner (no tables have been reserved).
