Following the securement of a sponsorship deal, the Horsham League are pleased to announce the return of its summer competition known as the "King & Barnes Open Doubles" last fought for in 1999. The magnificent perpetual cup has resurfaced and smart clock trophies for winning and losing finalists have already been commissioned. Entries will be accepted up to 31st March and will be open to any Pairs based in Sussex and Surrey, with all rounds being played on Horsham League tables. For the first year back entry will be FREE, with a maximum of 32 Pairs, first come first served. Invitations will be sent out in the following order: - Mid Jan 2016…Horsham league; Billingshurst league; Mid Sussex league; Redhill league
- Mid Feb 2016…Remainder of Sussex (leagues south of the South Downs)
(There is scope for expansion next year should the competition prove popular in its first year back.) The format will be a simple knockout (as previously) and games will be played on Tuesdays, once a fortnight throughout June, July and August, whilst trying not to encroach upon Jubilee Cup, Off-the-Spot and 4-Pin activity. Condition of entry will be that competitors adhere to the set night.Redhill have a good tradition in this competition, providing the runners-up on three occasions: Karl Tidy & Tony Cross in 1991; Simon Tinto & Tony Cross in 1993; and Andy Finn & Jim Greensted in 1994. And the current holders (from 1999) Gail Woods and Spencer Copping. An entry form is attached HERE: Attachment DeletedEntries can also be submitted through the medium of the Forum, by PM'ing me a completed form.

One more week to enter Horsham's (free) King & Barnes Open Doubles competition. I am putting reminders up on the various boards where an interest has been shown: Quote: Competition will be underway a month later (31st May/1st June) and I would like to publicise draw 3 weeks in advance. Even if we get just five more pairs entering that will form a reasonable basis for reinstatement of this flagship event !

Hi tommo, I'm up for it but am at present negotiating a partner. I can confirm that I will get one. Who it is depends on their sorting it out with those who they have chatted about it with. Please enter me+1 and I'll confirm +1 asap. Cheers, Jim.
