“Entry Forms for the 2012 Billingshurst Jubilee Team Knockout are now out - close date for entries 4th May, £5 to enter.”
So says John Tidy, and I made a point of asking him if this competition is ‘Open’, as it was for the first time last year.
The answer is “Yes – to any team in Sussex and/or Surrey - but entry will be limited to around two dozen.”
Now, I know there are many like me who look back with fondness to the old Horsham Festival Cup and regret its demise. It attracted entries from both counties and one year an amazing 64 teams took part!
And it was a Littlehampton team (the Gratwicke) that won it the first time that competition was thrown 'Open' - in 1972 !
This is slightly different, they play 3 singles and 2 pairs, but it’s a good competition nonetheless as it could appeal to teams of differing standards: You can enter a team under any name you like, much the same as it was with the Horsham competition. And there is a Plate too!
Play will be throughout the summer months, one round per month, with the Final taking place in September. All matches will be played on Billingshurst – and possibly Horsham also – League tables.
Please register your interest on this thread by 29th April – if there are any ‘takers’ I will put you in touch with John.
