Accompanying adults, siblings etc
Players are only supervised whilst in the playing hall, therefore parents and careers are responsible for their child between games. We will provide areas for them to wait. As space is limited, we would ask that the number of people accompanying a player is kept to a minimum. Only players and officials are allowed in the playing hall.
