Pauline and the other Oxfordshire Ladies are still waiting for entry forms.

Who's running this and when will they get them??

[DA-DM]

though we knew the title and date for this, the first time we saw a form was at the Ladies 1 day interleague last saturday. i don't think i have seen one anywhere else.......

entry is now stated on the form as £7. return to G. Powell.

[BB Warrior]

There were some entry forms at the Sussex Ladies One Day Interleague competition that was held on Saturday...... but that was the first time that we had seen them! ::) :-X

I have just PM'd you the contact details for Gary Powell who is shown as the person that entries should be sent to.

Hope that helps Keith....? ;)

Hi Keith,

I've managed to get hold of an electronic copy today and have passed it to Sav to put up on the AEBBA website. Should be available shortly.

[BB Warrior]

Well done Tommo......! ;D

Hopefully, they will now extend the closing date then (which is shown as yesterday on the Entry Form! :o) to allow a few more people to enter. 8-)

Pauline said, thank you very much. :)

Well spotted ! And the change in entry fee too !
And you are right, the first time anyone had seen a form was at last weekend's SCBBA I'league.

Of course, the close date will have to be extended, and I would expect entries to be accepted right up to the date the draw will be performed, which would be our next Committee Meeting (Thurs 26th March).

Keith-

If Pauline etc would prefer not to wait for the form to appear on here, I will be willing to send them a downloadable version by eMail Just PM me with the eMail address to send to.

[Chris_Sav]

Just got in from some 300 miles on the road today, will post the form up tomorrow,

Thanks to Sho for providing the copy and thanks to Sav for posting it to the AEBBA website.

After my extended trip to South Africa, I'm still not up to date with everything that has been posted on the boards.

I've just seen this for the first time, I would very much like to take one of the bye or vacated places if that is still possible.

As of last night we had lost another lady from the line-up, and nobody had come forward to fill the Byes, so - Ros - you're in. Just turn up on Sunday with your cue (and entry fee) 11.30am at the Frenches.

[Ros]

Thanks tommo! :D 8-)

Good luck to all the ladies tomorrow - going for a very prestigious ladies trophy.

Any report/ photos would be appreciated as I can put them in the AEBBA newsletter

A stupendous last event was held at the Frenches Club today.
Lorraine Hall is the new British Isles Ladies Open Champion - she beat Jean Brackenridge in a very close final. (Scores to be added later, but from a spectator's point of view Lorraine led by 7k to 3k in the first leg and in the second one Jean had 7k on the board before Lorraine staged a comeback. As the bar went, a count-up was made and it was found that Lorraine was just 150 behind. She kept her cool to pot the last few balls that remained to lift the Championship.)

In the Semi-finals of the Plate, Sandra Race beat Ros Appleby and Denise Wills beat Lorraine Hamlin to make for a tense and entertaining final with Sandra triumphant over Denise.

In the Main competition Semi-final, Lorraine (Hall) staged another one of her magnificent comebacks to beat the title-holder, Oxford's Pauline Withey who held a 7k advantage from the first leg. Jean beat Hayley Tunstall in the other Semi. Jean also took the trophy for the highest break of the day.

Further details to follow.
