Championship 2010

Welcome to the 7th Blackthorn British Skittles Championship homepage.
Winning teams will receive a share of over £6,000 prize money up for grabs plus trophies sponsored by Blackthorn.

Teams that enter will play in regional group rounds and subsequent play-offs to gain qualification to the Grand Finals. There will be three separate events: Men's, Ladies and Mixed. The successful qualifiers, 32 Men's, 16 Ladies and 16 Mixed, will compete in the Grand Finals, which will be staged for the very first time at the Riviera International Conference Centre, Torquay on Saturday 18th September 2010. The new venue promises to provide a "festival of skittles" as it plays host to the Grand Finals themselves as well as the Createanet Singles & Pairs tournament the day before, the biggest tournament of its kind and the ideal "aperitif" to Saturday’s Grand Final. A multitude of accommodation will be available for all participating players and spectators alike and, as ever, entertainment including live acts and disco to be staged until the early hours.

So... Why are you waiting? Download the Entry Form NOW or get in touch for your chance at a slice of the big prize and a skittling experience you will never forget.

"But don't take it our word for it, here's what last year's champions said:

"We're over the moon...! We didn't expect to get this far never mind win it...! What a brilliant weekend!" - Neil Wilcox, team captain from Men's Champions Weston St. John.

“We’ve had a FANTASTIC weekend! We’ve made so many new friends and had a lot of support from the other teams. The girls battled through really well and we’ll be giving our best again next year to defend our title!” - Marion Whittaker, team captain from Ladies Champions Coleford Bowlovers.

"Brilliant! We're very hot and very tired, but over the moon… all our matches went very well in the end and we've had a brilliant time!" - Andrew Budd, team captain from Mixed Champions Orchard Mix.
