Indoor Triples League
This is a friendly but competitive internal league run every Wednesday and Thursday morning, by David Tomlinson, starting early in October. Teams are made up of 6 or more players, from which three are chosen by the Team Captain and notified at the start of the season on which dates they will be playing. You only usually play once a fortnight and usually with the same team members. This year there are six teams. Each team will play every week.
