Forged in Battle Team Challenge - 4th & 5th October 2025
Posted: Tue May 13, 2025 7:37 am
The first weekend in October will see Sarisbury Green host the 7th Forged in Battle Team Challenge. We have capacity for a maximum of 10 teams of 3 players. Priority will be given to those who have attended previously but new players are also welcome.
The event will run with an even number of teams to avoid byes.
Some themes are similar but different to last year.
Venue details are here: http://www.sarisburygreen.org.uk
We are close to Southampton Airport for those coming from further afield and may be able to arrange lifts to and from the airport.
As before this will be a 3-player Team event, 1 player in each pool. Please email Pete Dalby at peterdalby1960@gmail.com if you wish to attend by the 31st August.
