I'm pleased to see it's back.
It clashes with both the Hastings weekend and part of the 4NCL.

Hi Roger,
Yes its always clashed with Hastings being on that same weekend, but with the distance between them about 220 miles its not been a problem in the past.
A tad annoying re the 4ncl though.

I live about halfway between the two, it's about two hours by road in either direction. "last" year (2019) I played Hastings, so I may pencil in Telford.

Well you'll be more than welcome Roger, I can remember seeing you playing up here previously.
Oh and well done on a very good final day at Scarborough!
