Cribbage Evenings

Cribbage Evenings take place every Thursday evening at Shiplake Village Bowling Club, located in Henley-on-Thames. These evenings are a fantastic way to get involved during the off-season, which runs from mid-September to mid-April.

The events are expertly organised by Wendy C, who ensures that everything runs smoothly. Whether you're a seasoned player or a complete newbie, everyone is welcome to join in on the fun.

The format of the evening is similar to Monday points, with games being played weekly. If you arrive before 7.25pm, you can jump right into the games. We play three games, then take a 10-minute break to grab a refreshing drink from the open bar. After the break, we dive back into another three games. Each session lasts about an hour, giving you the flexibility to participate in one or both sessions according to your preference.

If you're interested in keeping score, a league table is kept for those who want to challenge themselves and aim for the top spot. And for those competitive souls, there's even a chance to win a well-deserved trophy at the end of the season in April.

Even if you've never played cribbage before, don't worry! Newcomers are always welcome, and you can watch the games for the first couple of times to get a feel for it. We love to see fresh faces getting involved and enjoying themselves.

Not only is it an enjoyable evening of engaging gameplay, but it's also a fantastic opportunity to socialise and stay connected with fellow enthusiasts during the winter months.

The cost for the entire season's entertainment is a nominal £5, which is a bargain when you consider all the fun and excitement that awaits you. So mark your calendars and make sure to save the date for these delightful cribbage evenings.

If you have any questions or need further information, please don't hesitate to contact Wendy C at 0118 947 5220. She'll be more than happy to assist you.
