The M3 is completely shut this weekend between Junctions 2 and 3. This is where it joins the M25.

Traffic reports on Radio Sussex/Surrey this morning say that this causing is congestion on surrounding roads, particularly the A322. There is also congestion around the M25/A3 junction as people divert to alternative routes.

Hope this information helps anyone coming down from counties to the north.

Many Thanks to Jean & Alan on the desk today assisted by Matt with the raffle money received by chelle, well done to all and thanks to those who scored and shame on you those who didn't

I attended as a spectator and as usual it was enjoyable to witness the changing fortunes, some great play and plenty of surprises and shocks.

Quarter-final lineups were as follows:
Main:
Ian Lelliott beat Martin Smith;
Matt Knight beat John Slee;
Kevin Tunstall beat Gerry Fitzjohn;
Paul Sainsbury lost to Nigel Senior.

Semis: Ian v Matt and K.T. v Nigel.

Plate:
Joe Oakley lost to Mark Brewster;
Tony Webster beat Stephen Hopkins;
Jack Baden lost to Geoff Jukes;
Curt Driver lost to Chris Tupper.

Semis: Brewster v Webster and Geoff v Tupps.

One of the day's highlights was Sid Ponting playing out the table for 15k, a personal best, and receiving a round of applause. Unfortunately for Sid his opponent happened to be K.T. - so it was all to no avail !

What a great weekend for me. Not only the Masters but the Sussex Open as well (without doubt the Open everyone wants to win on home soil).
I beat Ian Lelliott in the final, he played out table 5 for 13670, I replied with 16k with one excursion up the top of the table. On the way to the final I beat Nigel again (sorry mate) , this time in the semi, before that a last ball in the 200 hole to beat Fitz by a small 80.
In the plate final, Geoff beat Mark. I would also like to congratulate Sid Ponting on his 1st table run out against me, an amazing achievement in a tough event, luckily for me it was on a good table which I could catch. Well done also to Matt Knight on reaching the semi finals.
Thanks to Jean & Alan for organising the day, we'll run as usual and anyone else who helped in any way😉

[bigtj]

Well done to Kevin and Geoff. Also to Sid on personal best and to Matt for making the semi finals.

Congratulations to Kevin Tunstall on winning the Sussex Open yesterday, the 7th time that he has claimed this title.

Well done to Ian Lelliott on reaching the final and he played well to set Kevin a target, congratulations also to Geoff Jukes on winning the Plate Final against Mark Brewster.

A big thank you to Jean & Alan for running the Admin Desk, they certainly did that superbly given that there were a few late withdrawals and a few people were held up with traffic problems on the day meaning they had to change the schedule around to make sure that everyone was still able to play.... also thanks to all involved with setting up the tables and running the raffle etc.

Have been told by the Roffey Club that a cue was found in the room on the Sunday evening of the Sussex Open. It is a Ronnie O'Sullivan branded with two joints.

If anyone knows who this belongs to then please let me know.
