Is there any supplier left for pairing cards, with currently deliverable stock?
Ditto pairing boards?

Re: Pairing Cards & Pairing Boards
Thank you, Richard, for trying to help, appreciated.
However, I am not about to rush out and buy pairing boards at £35 each!
Nor do I find pairing cards with space for 7 games only useful.
I may arrange for a printer to satisfy Richmond Junior's needs for pairing cards - we get through about 1,000 per annum, so I would hope we can get a reasonable deal if we ask around.
The issue with pairing boards is more difficult. I guess we shall have to begin by making repairs to our damaged ones.
I know we have mostly gone to mechanised pairings, but running junior clubs and school clubs often requires less formal pairing methods.
I am sure that if a supplier actually made the effort, they would still find a ready, viable market for both pairing boards and cards.

Re: Pairing Cards & Pairing Boards
Could you not make your own pairing boards and cards - and perhaps post on here how you did it?Paul McKeown wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 7:51 pmThank you, Richard, for trying to help, appreciated.

Re: Pairing Cards & Pairing Boards
Angus, I will probably personally sort out the design and printing of suitable pairing cards, as I'm able to do the necessary DTP work myself. However, I doubt I will make pairing cards, my craft skills being located at the bodgier end of the spectrum.Angus French wrote: ↑Fri Apr 01, 2022 7:59 pmCould you not make your own pairing boards and cards - and perhaps post on here how you did it?

Re: Pairing Cards & Pairing Boards
How much are Tim Onions boards? I've always found them to be good value.
