Milltown Juniors

Click here for diagram with rules as they apply to ages and handicaps.

Youth members shall be divided into two categories:-

• Juvenile Members (under 18 on 1st January of the current year);
• Junior Members (18 and over on 1st January of the current year).

The bye-laws are different for each category and the playing rights are different based on handicap also. This section of the website explains the bye-laws as they apply to each category of youth member. Please ensure that you adhere to these bye-laws - they apply to every youth member, not just a selection. It is important that all youth members abide by them. If you need additional permission to play at times not allowed under the bye-laws (to play a match for example), please consult with a member of the junior committee in advance. If it is possible, such a request will be accomodated. Some slight changes have been introduced for 2011 which relate to booking (now available on the day of play), rights on Wednesdays, and allowing junior girls in single figures play in the tuesday draw. Otherwise, these bye-laws are changed for clarification purposes only.
