WHITEHALL INVITATION PAIRS TOURNAMENT 2026

With the Commonwealth Games taking place in 2026 followed by the Ayr National Championships, the dates for the Invitation Pairs Tournament have been brought forward to:

Saturday 4 July 2026                           Ladies Qualifier
Tuesday 14-Thursday 16 July 2026     Gents Qualifiers
Friday 17-Saturday 18 July 2026          Final Stages

Two internationalist gents pairs and two internationalist ladies pairs will be seeded through to the 2026 Final Stages along with 2025 Winners Lauren Roddie & Catherine McIntosh and Scott Runcie & Bradley Buchan (replacing Steve Fraser who is on holiday)

All other participants will need to qualify in their own right to play on the
final Friday and Saturday so there will be 8 Section Winners & 4 Highest Runners-Up for the Ladies and 9 Section Winners & 3 Highest Runners-Up for the Gents

Ladies will be asked to enter a Pair and players are responsible for arranging their own replacements if their partner withdraws and should notify Grace Whitley, Tournament Secretary, so that the appropriate admin changes can be made.  The only draw made by the Tournament Committee will be to allocate teams in sections

Gents will be invited as individuals and will be paired by the Tournament Committee

2026 Internationalists will be:

Ladies:      Natalie McWilliams (Crookston) & Margaret Letham (Burbank)
                  Lesley Doig (Strathmiglo) & Lynn Stein (Windygates)

Gents:       David Peacock (Danderhall) & Grant Logan (Kirkliston)
                  Stewart McAlees (Port Glasgow) & John Fleming Jnr (Port Glasgow)
