The star Inn still has a table. I saw it in the window covered up last week as I walked past. The only table I have seen for about 18 months unfortunately.

Lewes doubles semi final
Colin Southouse & Mike Daw 2:1 Chris Haynes & Gareth Dell
Chris made a hard working 7.5k break in the first with a 5k comeback to the bar from me. After I'd lost my opening break almost playing straight in the hundred hole on the way down the table, Colin cleared and scored a good 8.5k to secure the leg before repeating the feat in the final leg. We look forward to playing our next opponents in the final.

Open doubles,
Mike Daw & Colin Southouse 2:0 Alan & Jean Brackenbridge
Both Colin and I put in solid performances on the same night for once to claim the victory. Let's see if we can repeat that feat on finals night.

I know Worthing A beat West Sussex last weekend but have no details. Correct. Scoreline was 5.2, the match was much closer than the scoreline suggests with many of the west Sussex players knowing the Henty table very well.

Sad to report as mentioned at the AGM Hastings will only have 1 team this coming season Sad indeed. Shame that the team we put together when we came back in from many years in the wilderness in 2011/2012 season has finally had its day. However we did have some good times as Hastings/A: 2011/2012 div 3 winners 2013 one day div 2 winners 2014/2015 div 2 winners 3 seasons in a tough div 1

I think using facebook is a good idea. Of course the information being put up will need thinking about. Perhaps a link to the forum on posts might be an idea for further info? Promoting opens etc on there is a good idea as sometimes I go for days not looking at the forum but I do have a glance on facebook and quite often see bits and pieces posted from say the northants league that i would not have seen otherwise. Hastings at one stage was using twitter along with a web site. I have never used twitter but it did not bother me as I could always find out info relevant to me if I really wanted to. Plus you dont actually have to be a member to find things about Hastings bar billiards on there, just a google search. Not sure if its quite the same for facebook? I think it depends on what privacy settings have been setup.
The game is slowly but surely meeting its demise and we need to try something to stop this. Lets give it a go and see what happens. We need to make the game visible to as many people who are either playing or more importantly not playing. Maybe some of those not playing will see the post and ask their friends what its all about and want to give it a go.

Glynde horse 4:1 Blacksmiths arms
Jan Bithel bt Alec Pope. Alec off early Jan with a steady 5k and Alec couldnt clear.
Ric Bithel bt Mike Daw. Rick with a steady 4k and held. I struggled to clear until the end and put in 3.9k before rushing a split just before the bar but didnt have time to catch Rick.
Dave Knight lost to Fred Pope. Not much heavy scoring and plenty of chances for both who cleared a few times. As ever The Grinder (Fred) ground out the victory to give us a chance.
Richard Todd bt Jamie Minihane. Richard started off steadily with near 2k. Jamie struggled with 2 black pegs but did clear only to fluff the 1up. Richard maintained a 1k lead until the end.
Dave Todd beat Clive Minihane. Dave consistently scoring with most visits and Clive struggled as most of us did and kept the family theme going by knocking down the black peg. With balls flying back toward the balk line Clive never really gave himself a chance to get in the game. Dave ran out an easy winner.
Well done Glynde Horse,
Thank you for a pleasant evening

Here's another reason. Society in general has changed. More people do shift work as we live in an ever increasing 24 hour society which does not allow people to play the game as its evening based for local leagues and many people now work late shifts like i do. Also ever increasing demands on peoples finances with peoples rent/mortgages and general bills always going up year on year meaning people cant afford the regular few nights down the pub that people used to do each week and therefore they choose to drink at home or not at all. All that means less people play the game in general meaning less teams in each league. This leads to what happens to players like blackmamba99 where we can no longer create divisions for teams where it would make the game more even and competitive. Instead every team plays eachother leading to a big variation in quality of teams and players. I myself have stopped playing in the Hastings league as i got critised too many times for playing well. I spent the last season there playing to 3k and stopping. Then i would clear the balls and deliberately fluff it. Not fun for me as i want competition.

Just a guess as I wasn't there. Maybe the 50/50 break was not possible this year?

We are finally off the mark in the handicap league then. Well done to the lads. I'll be back next week. Let's see if we can make it two in a row. The league looks like it's shaping up to be quite interesting. A win next week could put us in fourth. Lol.

Mike Daw & Nick Speight 2:1 Marc Bailey and Andy Eldridge in the Hastings doubles on Wednesday evening at the Jenny Lind.Nick and I lost the first frame with Andy starting with the break and making a useful 2k break all of us had plenty of visits but not a lot to show for our efforts. In the second I started with the break making 3.8k before going back on a few visits later to make 5k to finish the leg. Nick started the third leg after winning the toss and made a 2k break Mark then chased but only managed 1.5k after a lot of recovery shots. I got the break back and finished the table for 4.5k.
