Hi all i am planning to hold a one day competition open to mid Sussex and Lewes league members.
The competition will be held on Saturday the 25th of July and will be run as a normal open only it will be limited to 32 players, there will also be a plate competition.
The start time will be 11.00am and will hopefully end by 9.00pm.
There will be food available all day (BBQ if weather permits).
There will also be a special bar layed on with guest ales and beers.
The format will be double leg games in both plate and main competition. I can accommodate 64 players if i get the interest but this would mean either no plate or single leg games including a plate but i leave this one to the interest that i get and maybe some preferable ideas from mid Sussex and Lewes forum users.
Also the cost will be dependent on the entry's i get but hopefully will not rise above £7pounds hopefully.
Trophies will be awarded at the end of the evening.
I'm hoping to start giving entry forms at the Sussex open this weekend and the cut off date is the 31st of June.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask and ideas or help on the day would be most welcome.
Thanks
Adam

Sounds great Adam, and Margo and I would definitely be up for it.
Full marks for your resourcefulness ! 8-)
A competition for 64 players sounds rather too ambitious, though, on just the two tables which you have at the Brewers: One for 32 players might just be possible - although it's going to make for a very long day. :-/

And in complete opposition to the same named comp that Mike at the Brewers has just asked me to organise? Which as a trial run was to be run as an inhouse comp only?
Anyone know what the F**k is going on????

Just my two penn'orth, but Adam's version sounds great on paper but too much for one person alone to organise - with the talk of anything up to 64 entrants and a Plate. The Brewers would be absolutely heaving - a lot of people to control in what is really only a small pub.
Sounds as if you two ought to put your heads together on this one. You might even find you could find a way to fit in both competitions. :-/

Thanks for the comments all
Jock-sorry i was going to call you but this was a spontaneous idea and i believe there will still be a in house one day event.
I would much appreciate anyones help with the event including jocks valuable help if he wishes.
i have decided to keep it to 32 entrants being realistic.
I literally thought about this last night and i am not a patient man so put it in to action straight away.
sorry if i have ruffled feathers but i am only doing this for a bit of fun and i would love to have everyones support.
thanks
Adam

Think it is a great idea. Will cater for those who like a bit of bar bills in the summer and self financing(will not impact on league funds). If I thought I could get a Saturday off and a family pass, would play myself. Best of luck.

You know that I'd love to Adam, but a 500 mile round trip @ 30mpg rather forbids it, sorry.
Best of luck though mate, if I can find a few more tables and a venue big enough I might try the same idea down here.

Hi all
Im off on holiday for 2 weeks on monday and i sill have 7 places left if i can not fill these places before i go then i will have to do the draw when i get back.
So can i ask everyone to be at the brewers for 10:30 to start at 11 am the.
First round will run from 11-2 so some will have to wait a little bit but hopefully this will help with scorers.
any questions please pm me.
Thanks all.
