Cheltenham Civil Service Skittles Club
Skittles Club
Teams are invited to enter the Winter League - see details  * * * The Summer League is nearing the end. See the Results and Table

This club provides for teams of 12 players to play skittles (nine pins).
We are part of the Cheltenham Area Civil Service Sports Association (CACSSA).
All our games are played at the Civil Service Sports Pavilion in Tewkesbury Road

The Winter League is our main competition and generates the most interest.   This season there are 10 teams playing in one division. The league usually starts in September and continues to about the following Easter.  Teams of 12 players play once nearly every week.

The President's Shield is our knock-out competition for the teams of the Winter League.  The games are usually held after the Winter League finishes.  On the Final's Night we present prizes to the teams and players who have done well in both competitions.  The bottom teams of each league division compete in a further game for the Wooden Spoon 

The Summer League is not as serious as the winter league but some teams are keen to continue playing during the quieter summer months.  This also provides a useful opportunity for new teams to try their luck.  The format of the competition varies with the number of teams entering.  In recent years we have experimented with teams of fewer than 12 players.  9 players in 3 legs of 3 playing 8 hands has proved popular.  Again we have a Final's Night for the top two teams to compete for the Winner's Trophy. 

On Summer Final's Night we play a front-pin match for the John Christie Chairman's Cup. This game is between the winners of the President's Shield and the Champions of the Winter League (or runners up if the same team).

Player of the Year is a knock-out competition, started in 1995, for individual CACSSA members.

Mixed pairs is a new competition, started in 2007, as an experiment to generate interest in skittles.  The pairs of entrants are grouped and the winners of each group enter a knock-out competition

Tony Clay Memorial Shield is a Front-Pin competition for individuals to be held in memory of Tony Clay, a former chairman of the club, who died in 2009.   The precise format has yet to be worked out; it may be that entrants are grouped and the winners of each group enter a knock-out competition.
