The SPA Individual membership Series is now open for entries.
As always, the number of qualifiers we receive for the National Finals is wholly dependent on our own entry level. The more entries we have, the more qualifiers we will likely receive.
If you are interested in playing again (or joining as a new player) please post below or message me directly. The great thing about the IM's is the match practice it offers in races to seven, playing locally at a venue and time convenient to both players.
More information is below.
The payment deadline for us is Tuesday 6th December 2022 at 7pm.
Happy to take cash or bank transfer to the ADPL Account.
Entry remains at £30 total (£25 entry and your £5 SPA membership fee for 2023).
