The Handicaps is a social event as much as a competitive one, and we are looking forward seeing you in the club over this fortnight of summer evenings. The MLTC HANDICAPS CAFÉ opens each evening run by volunteers, selling toasted sandwiches, nibbles, sweet treats, and soft drinks. Tea and coffee are available courtesy of the club as always. For those who might enjoy a glass of wine or beer, Sarah and Isabella have organised this too, and will have the fridge stocked to facilitate, and BYOB is also allowed during the tournament.
The Finale of the Handicaps fortnight is the much-anticipated BBQ on Saturday 23rd. We will begin at 7pm with a prosecco reception and prizegiving for the Handicaps, followed by a gourmet woodfired BBQ and an evening of relaxed celebrations. Tickets for the BBQ are now available on Easy Payments for €38pp until Wednesday 20th – but numbers will be limited so book early to ensure a place.
