ROLL-UPS
This is Bridport's name for practice sessions which are automatically reserved in the book for certain times each week. All members are welcome to attend, and there's no pre-registration required. The sessions are self-managed by whoever turns up on the day; it might sound like a recipe for chaos, but it has worked successfully in this way for many years!
The games (and we can cope with any number of players) are 'proper' without being deadly serious. They might be an opportunity for experienced members to get in a bit of practice between league games, for anyone recovering from illness or injury to feel their way back gently, or for relatively new players to meet others while familiarising themselves with the rules, etiquette and general rhythms of the game.
Dress is (smart-ish) casual, and it costs £5 per person for each two-hour session. New members may borrow shoes and woods from the cupboard.
