COMMITTEE NEWSLETTER, JANUARY 2001.

Dates For Your Diary; KBBA competitions all 12 o’clock registration at the Alma:- ‘A’ Interleague Saturday 24^th Feb. Ladies Sunday 25^th Feb. & ‘B’ Saturday 21^st April. Finals Night 2001 will be at the Alma on Tuesday May 15^th. Presentation Night will be at the Alma on Friday June 29^th.

‘B’ Interleague; We may have a chance to enter a second team. It would be nice to enter a side of players who might not have been picked for the full side but are keen enough to want to have the chance to play in a tournament. Interested? Let Dave or I know or put your names on a match card this or next Tuesday.

National Over 50’s; Chris Saville of the Alma became the first player to successfully defend the National title at Reading. Chris hit an 18100 runnout on his first visit to the table and a 16400 opener in the final.

League (Spring) Cup; No handicaps or triangles this year! The singles and doubles will be played ‘Off the spot’. It is hoped to start on February 27^th.

Fees; Still outstanding Winter League fees are the Plough & Harrow (Bridge) £12.50, please pay up.

Magnet ‘B’; The team moved to the Brickmakers’ Arms over the Christmas period. Following a complaint from the Magnet, the committee decided that insufficient notice had been given and that the registration at the Magnet should stand. Remaining Magnet ‘B’ fixtures in the Winter league will be played from the Magnet by newly registered players.

Happiness is Lion Shaped;

The boys at the Lion were elated when Terry Laslett finally kept one of the breaks he has been freely scoring but not keeping this season! In the same match one of the last two 100% records in the first division went when Paul Smart won his singles.

SuperGlue Needed!; Dave Macworth of the Greyhound was that disappointed in his form on the Royal Oak that he dropped his cue onto a nearby table. Unfortunately the cue didn’t land square and split! Every cloud has a silver lining though, as the team say he played better with the replacement. Any players with similar problems, I am short of firewood at Sparrow Court!

Knock Out Results; Players are once again reminded to put results on match cards. Failure to notify the competition secretary of your hard earned win will result in your disqualification.

Next Committee Meeting; To be held at the Lion on Thursday 22^nd February at 8.00pm.
