We need 8-10 volunteer markers to mark the first games on Sunday and Monday. Sunday from 11am and Monday from 8:30am. After each game, the losing player will mark their opponent’s next game so it’s only the first set of matches which need covering. Then you can relax and watch the rest of the action.
