Mardle, a four-time world championship semi-finalist, will appear at the Comrades Club on Saturday, July 11, to entertain guests and throw a few legs while recounting stories from his time as a professional darts players.

Following in the footsteps of an event held at the club last December, organiser Peter Cousins said: “Last year Eric Bristow and Keith Deller gave us great entertainment enjoyed by all; this year with Wayne Mardle we are sure to be amazed by his darting antics.

“Known as Hawaii 501, Wayne is a Premier League legend. He is simply one of darts’ all-time great entertainers and widely regarded as the best ‘exhibitionist’ in world darts.

“This venture is all about bringing big names and great nights to Soham. Sporting entertainment of this quality is hard to come by, and I’m very pleased to be putting this on right at our doorstep.”
