Carl what are you up to on the Friday before? I am not sure if to book a hotel for the Friday and Sat night or just the Sat night.
When are you going to bring a few players down to Sudbury to take on the Tap at a game ;)

why do I get the feeling someone from Norwich might just win :)
I think its great that people from the poor mans bar billiards are entering too, maybe we can have a whip round and buy them all an extra pin so they can the real game too ;)
Well done Carl for getting this thing sorted.
Are you going to ask people who come along to donate raffle prizes? I'm sure I have some worn out chalk somewhere I can offer

When are you going to bring a few players down to Sudbury to take on the Tap at a game ;) Hi Dave! The only thing we'll be doing is going to the pub for "pre-Open drinks" haha!! So if you want to come over the night before then brilliant!!! Just let me know when you will be around and give me a call. You have my number don't you? We wanted to come over to the Brewery Tap in 2011, it very nearly happened, but last minute things happened where we couldnt come over, but we must make a point of coming over this year!!! I'll speak to Sally at The Cottage so we can sort it out!! Maybe a kind of "Inter-League" competition could be organised??? Cheers Carl

why do I get the feeling someone from Norwich might just win :) I don't know about that, the 3-Pinners seem to be practicing quite a bit, some good breaks are being reported! and I've heard that there are some really good players down where you are too! We've got some great players down here yes, but as it's the very first East Anglian Open, it will be all to play for! I think its great that people from the poor mans bar billiards are entering too, maybe we can have a whip round and buy them all an extra pin so they can the real game too ;) haha I'll be doing a count up of our Pins afterwards to make sure any don't go missing!! ;) Well done Carl for getting this thing sorted. A few things to iron out but hopefully it will "Be alright on the night" Are you going to ask people who come along to donate raffle prizes? I'm sure I have some worn out chalk somewhere I can offer We're currently trying to get a few things on the go for the night, and that is one that has been mentioned! In the next few weeks I'll hopefully be able to announce a few things. Here's hoping!!! ;D P.S. If my quoting attempt has gone squiffy, my apologies.......

well I am happy to bet a tenner with anyone that I WONT WIN, only going for the beer and a game of bar billiards.
they say practice makes perfect, so if i practice for the next month I still wont be anywhere near perfect.
Carl I really do think you should do a raffle and maybe donate the monies to a charity, maybe the East Anglian Air Ambulance as it is the East Anglain Open :)
right I'm off down the pub, Thursday is our league night

well I am the old, fat, bald and ugly one No, I'm Spartacus ! ;D Not so long ago people said this was not being taken too seriously and now you tell me people are practicing :( Dave I don't think you need worry that any of us 3-Pinners are going to be too intense, I would guess that most of us are entering purely out of curiosity, meeting some interesting new faces, and for a chance of enjoying a great weekend doing something different. 8-)

well I dont want to be talking to fat old ugly gits all day, I can talk to myself anytime so I'll just talk to the odd 2% then.
Still think it would be nice if people could bring a raffle prize along to donate, if we all spent just a fiver buying something it would still make up a few quids worth of prizes and hopefully raise some money for charity
