Winchester Fives Championship - change of venue

Malvern, Sunday March 13th 2016

Players who are planning well ahead should note organiser Harry Akerman’s announcement that the Barnes Bridge (Winchester Fives Championship) is going to be moved from Sedbergh School to Malvern College for the 2016 championship. The reason for this is that Malvern will not be able to host it in 2017 due to building work going on and so Sedbergh will host it that year. The ladies competition will still be held in Sedbergh for 2016.

That leaves the Barnes Bridge calendar looking like this:

2016 – Malvern (March 13th)
2017 – Sedbergh

Entry forms and details for the 2016 championship (current holders Dan Grant and Dan Tristao pictured above) will follow in the new year, but potential players are advised to mark the change in their diaries now.
