We have started to prepare for our second season of quoits. We have tidied up the ground around pitches, bought some new benches; lighting for the pitches will also be up soon.

The first game - a friendly - of the new season took place on Wednesday, 9th April, at the Buck Inn in Thornton Watlass. The league season will start on Wednesday, 30th April.

Games will be played every Wednesday until the end of August. We have received a draft provisional fixture list from the league which is linked below. Details of our games will follow on the quoits page on the Village Hall website and at the village bus stop.

Keep an eye out for the fixtures to find out when we are playing at home, so you can come along and support us on a summer's evening and enjoy a drink from the bar.

The quoits coffee morning had a fabulous turnout. Thank you to all who supported by providing cakes, raffle prizes, and their time to run it, and those who came along to enjoy a coffee and some cake.

Weekly practice sessions are held at the village hall on Tuesday evenings starting

at 18:30. Everyone is welcome to come along and try it out.

The 'Black Q's' have been busy digging holes to install the solar lighting rigs. All four of the scaffold poles have been concreted in place and the trial installation of one solar powered light has been carried out. Initial testing of the light proved to be very good with the floodlight illuminating the entire pit area.

Bracketry has been manufactured by Don and Stuart to complete the lighting rigs; the brackets will enable the light fittings to be removed at the end of the playing season and stored.

We are awaiting receipt of the final fixture list; the provisional fixture list is linked at the top of the page and the final version will be updated when confirmed by the league.

Keep your eyes peeled for more information.

Annual membership fee remains at £10. If you are selected to play in a fixture please remember to bring along an extra £2 for match subs. This helps us provide the sustenance for the players.
