To be eligible for a Seniors event, players must have their 60th birthday or beyond during the calendar year (January-December) of the event. For example, a player can play in a Seniors event at the age of 59 provided his/her 60th birthday falls later that year.
The venue is set in the picturesque parish of St Martin which takes in many of the traditional Guernsey houses, quiet country lanes, as well as superb cliffs. Near to the hotel are a number of interesting and historic places including the Little Chapel, the Occupation Museum, St Martin’s Church, and the Doyle Monument at Jerbourg.
Swiss Pairs held over the first weekend and Swiss Teams over the second weekend. A variety of events midweek, including Seniors events.
