“After much soul searching and nine brilliant years, Des, Caroline and I have made the hard decision to offer Kings E.C. for sale and for Des and I to retire.

As many of you will know Des turned 75 this year and I am not that far behind and we have decided that now is the time to take life a little bit easier.

We have had a great time here at Kings with a lovely and loyal following of brilliant competitors. The business is in very good shape with a full ‘order book’ and we very much hope that we can find buyers who would like to continue to run Kings as a Competition Centre and continue to build upon and improve the facilities and have as many good times as we have enjoyed.”
