Schedule
The tournament will take place on the weekend of 18th-19th May 2024 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 17th May 2024
We'll have a welcome social meeting in The Haymakers pub in Cambridge, probably with some friendly games of mahjong. The dinner that was proposed previously will not go ahead due to lack of interest.

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).
