The club runs regular competitions throughout the year and Humphrey said it was a family friendly club.
“We run competitions for all ages and ability,” he said.
The club’s under 12s competition is also nearing fever pitch with the finals to run next week.
There will also be registrations next week for an upcoming men’s winter competition.
