History
The Polytechnic Ladies Darts Club was formed on 1 November 1939 with 32 members but subsequently went into abeyance due to the drop in numbers during the war. It reopened in September 1946 with 22 members. Competitions were held: Championship, pairs, sections and inter-club (within the Polytechnic only). A cup was donated by Ethel Wood in 1947. This was stolen in 1968 and replaced in 1970. A further cup was bought in 1971 but both cups were later stolen. The club was wound up in 1991.
