BPCC MENS TOUR 2021

The last time BPCC met was June 2019 when we were based in Nottinghamshire for the week.

2021 will see the Tour relocating to Leicestershire & Rutland (home of our Chair) which should have taken place last year.

An additional fixture has been included this year as the Club has accepted an invitation to play Kibworth CC on Sunday 20th June which will now be the Tour curtain raiser. They are looking for it to be their Presidents Day.
