In November 2020 a new Worldwide Handicapping System will be introduced.
The new handicapping system will start on 2nd November 2020. We have set up a Working Group with representatives from all 3 sections to work through the new system and implement it at Stratford Park.
Working Group members: Kevin Bennett, Will Clare, Peggy Ellis, Chris Kennedy, Martin Kinnoulty, Rob Manning, Jane Reeves.
This page will host all of the communication that we issue regarding the implementation.
