Thank you for your report and kind words Matt and agree that lot of works goes in to arrange these events and it does feel like a kick in the teeth when only the same people support them, the weekend was a great weekend, plenty of laughs, some excellent bar billiards, and I do know there can be many reasons for not entering but Kevin puts a lot of time and effort organising them and I do have some ideas going forward.

The Off the Spot and later in November ( Saturday 17th to be precise ) are both an opportunity for all to join in to have a great fun day and raise dome funds for the league, I do ant to put a big thank you to all that turned up and made the weekend a success. Lets hope the Triples is well supported.

A special thanks go to Pete Hickman who has supplied four tables free of charge, and with a team of helpers got the tables upstairs in the Tarring Club, supported the league by saving us table hire fees, he works like a trojan and he must sometimes wonder why he bothers ( I know personally it is because he care so much about Worthing Bar Billiards ) so once again thanks mate.

Lets hope the committee can get together and come up with ways to try and increase the support, would be such a shame to lose these events, if it is not what people want then please speak to me with other ideas, I will then be able to carry them forward for discussion. I personally like both the Off the Spot and the Triples formats, but would be willing to try something else and would be there to support them.

From a very personal point I have tried very hard the last two years to keep the B Masters at 16 players, against quiet stiff opposition but the lack of support for this event is particularly disappointing as I feel this si an important competition for the league and gives those below the premier league a competition they all have chance in but I will definitely be looking to change the number to 8 only in future years.
