At Chorley PS , we tend to think of ourselves as quite a strong print club so it has been frustrating that we have not been able to win the PAGB national print championship, but there is some very strong competition within the UK.

This means, of course, that Chorley PS now holds both the print championship and PDI championship titles which is an absolutely fantastic achievement by the Club and its
