Competition Theme Pool

Each month now, on Competition Night, Ken (or other committee member) will spin the wheel of fortune to pick the competition theme for that month the following year. The below tables shows the current pool of themes, that the random wheel of fortune can choose from. This essentially means that we will have a rolling 12 months of themes for Club Members to prepare for, not just last minute (as usual, you know who you are 😬)

Please note, the committee reserve the right to remove themes, quarantine them if you will, that are deemed too close to others, so we don’t have several very similar themes back to back as we have previously.

Themes that have been “quarantined” for 12 months will be brought back into this main list for Future consideration. For complete transparency, the quarantined list can also be seen below.
