Apart from the main prizes, there are prizes for highest three dart finish and highest male and female score. Since August 1991 the hotel has had three of the electronic dart boards and Steve Gray, Co-ordinator of the dart club said "for the first six weeks interest was slow, but now it is proving to be a very popular game." The players start with soft tip darts and after playing with these, they can easily adapt to using , the older style steel tip ! darts.
