Unfortunately that is the same date as the Maurice Oliver Triples at the Limes in Redhill which is an event that we always try to attend or we would have been interested in playing in this..... :-/

I'm sure a few of us from The Railway will come & take your money!

We've made a note of the date too.....probably come over on the bus. ;)

Roffey SSC,

Apologies for now not being able to make the 31's... Hope you all have a great day!

An interesting Saturday afternoon was spent in excellent but sometimes boisterous company..... Moose had come up with some tweaks to the Railway rules, increasing the punitive side of things so it was possible to be fined as much as a pound a visit for a double foul with no points scored, forgetting to spot the ball for the following player and forgetting to be in place to score. :-S
Never before have my pockets been drained so quickly over a game of billiards. :'(
By contrast, Hoppo who seemed to be the main beneficiary, had stacks of silver piled up in separate coinage and recalled to mind a Dickensian miser.
Seriously, despite everything Margo and I thoroughly enjoyed the day, which was capped with a delicious spread of food (selection of chilli con carne/shepherds pie/mild-ish curry, backed up with poppadoms, crinkly chips and garlic bread).
Thanks for the hospitality. 8-)
