Tuesday Night 9 O’clock UPDATE.

 

I would like to bring to your attention the following items below.

 

1/. You may remember a questionnaire a long while ago with regard to a possible merger of our league with the 7 O’clock one. Well they discussed this at their AGM, held last Tuesday night, and the result was that they did not want to merge. Given that if we were going to change start time, the earliest that our majority wanted to do it would be 8pm, and they wished not to change from 7pm so this was a no go.

 

That now leads me on to something to think about for our new season in January, which needs to be discussed before, and decided at the AGM.

What format do we want to go with next season?

The options are as below.

 

A).       Stay as Four’s     (Some difficulties in a few teams having 4 Players every week).

 

B).       Trio’s                  (This would allow an earlier finish time. It could also possibly increase the number of teams as a limit of 6 registered per team would be required. However, if some players, who are not currently bowling regularly and wish to, they could form new teams).

 

C).       Doubles              (This would obviously at least double the amount of teams with a limit of 4 registered per team. Again those not bowling regularly may wish to form new teams. If we were to stick to 3 games per night then we would get to finish even earlier. There is a possibility then of playing 4 games per night, the downside to this is paying an extra £2 per week.

 

Have a think about it and let me know your thoughts before the AGM.

 

2/.  The AGM/PRESENTATION/MEAL/SKITTLES etc has been booked for Tuesday 14th December 19:30 at Mortimers Inn at Ower. Get it in your Diaries!!!!! The menu is exactly the same as last year, food and cost, so the cost per head for this is £11.75, those wishing to come please give me the money as soon as possible. Don’t forget to come on the 9th November for the Competition night. Prizes for all that enter on this night will be awarded at the AGM. Better halves and friends will also be welcome.

 

3/.   I really need to have your passport sized photo’s by the end of this month to enable the new ones to be produced. The Bowl wish to implement the new scheme from the 1st October and I will struggle to get these done if I don’t get the photo’s soon.

 

Just a quick reminder on these cards, the person who is going to create these cards for us would like a donation of £1 for each, which will go to the funds of the Millbrook Youth Bowling Club. A good cause indeed, and as I’m the Chairman of the club, I have to say that but it’s true.

 

4/. Doubles Knockout.

 

We are at the Semi Final stage now and this is to be held on Tuesday 28th September.

 

Final to be held before end of October if possible.

 

5/. Just a reminder about the website address to get the results for the Tuesday night just bowled. I usually get the site updated by the latest Thursday evening. I know some people have used it as I see the site stats increase.
