This page lists Fixtures Calendar events that are either organised directly by the CA, or form part of a competition series organised by different host clubs, leading to an eventual series winner.

Many CA Events have a long history and heritage - with some beautiful silverware to be won! For previous winners and results, refer to the archive.

Named CA Events are organised by the relevant Tournaments Committees, in conjunction with a host club; some events switch venues each year, whilst others are fixed. Clubs submit bids to host particular CA Events several years in advance, as they are a way to raise the club's profile and attract competitors nationwide. The Provisional Forward Tournament Schedule shows a snapshot.

Each Event has a Director and an appointed Manager (see Tournament Regulations - Officials) who decide the format, entry size, and other details.

The following section gives details of the CA events and series - beneath that, the current fixtures calendar lists those events.
