There are a variety of midweek events, including some Seniors events. To be eligible for a Seniors prize, both players in a pair must have their 61st birthday or beyond during the calendar year (January-December) of the event. For example, a player can win a Seniors prize at the age of 60 provided his/her 61st birthday falls later that year.

If you are not fully vaccinated or if you have had both doses of vaccination but 14 days have not passed since your second dose, then country and region categories will apply as normal. More info on categories can be found at: https://covid19.gov.gg/guidance/travel/countries.
The Common Travel Area (CTA) includes the United Kingdom, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, the Bailiwick of Jersey, the Isle of Man and the Republic of Ireland.

Healthcare in Guernsey
Please be aware that the provision of healthcare in Guernsey is not part of the National Health Service, and nor is the European Health Insurance Card valid.
