Chris unfortunately your league will not be the only one, I would imagine just about every bar billiards league is in the same position. Here in Suffolk there are no plans for restarting the Sudbury and District league for at least another six months.
We are unlucky in, along with pool, that our game requires a special table that at the moment takes up valuable bums on seats space.things like crib and dominoes just use the normal pub tables so in a landlords eye these will take preference, thats assuming there are no social distancing issues.
I think we all need to take the softly softly approach, let pubs reopen, let the mad rush and honeymoon period come and go and only then ask about reinstating bar billiards tables. If we go in guns blazing, asking or even demanding for our tables back, landlords may just totally dismiss the idea and we will lose another venue.
We all have to remember that covid is still here, killing hundreds of people, and it is here to stay. Scientists are already predicting another wave, so we must all try to play our part and prove them wrong.

It's also still the moto gp weekend at Silverstone so always expensive to stay there then have also found a flat for the weekend with free cancellation on trivago. It will just be good to have something to look forward to again fingers crossed. Regards PO Have you got a spare room? I just checked the ibis and the cheapest room they are showing for the Saturday night is £141, the week before and after are coming up at £51

It is hoped that the Sudbury and District bar billiards league will be able to hold their AGM in either July or August with a view to restarting the league with a brand new season starting no earlier that October this year. Hopefully by this time we will be well and truly out of lockdown and will have a clear idea of what restrictions, if any remain in place, which will allow us to restart playing in the safest environment possible.

same as always, no more than 4 answers every four hours
1 If there's some living to be done, Before your life becomes your tomb, You'd better know that I'm the one, Unchain your back door invite me around
2 You're happy when I'm on my knees, One day it's fine and next it's black, So if you want me off your back.
3 They print my message in the Saturday Sun, I had to tell them I ain't second to none, And I told about equality and it's true, Either you're wrong or you're right
4 So if you are in sight and the day is right, She's a hunter, you're the fox, The gentle voice that talks to you. Won't talk forever, It is a night for passion
5 He's got morning glory and life's a different story,Everything's going jackanory, Touched with his own mortality, He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac
6 'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head, Step outside, summertime's in bloom, Stand up beside the fireplace
7 But now, we're going 'round in circles, Tell me will this déjà vu never end, oh, And now you tell me that you're falling in love, Well I never ever thought that would be,
8 I feel like I've been locked up tight, For a century of lonely nights, Waiting for someone to release me, You're lickin' your lips, And blowing kisses my way
9 Don't you know it's true what they say, That life, it ain't easy, But your time's coming around, So don't you stop tryin
10 I need a man to be a real man In order of what I got in store, Always finish what you start baby, And always having me beg for more, You know I want to be a diggy down boy
11 Don't try to tell me what I already know, Don't criticise me 'cause I'm running the show, Some revolution is going to happen today, I'm gonna chase the dark clouds away
12 Now there's no point in placing the blame, And you should know I suffer the same, If I lose you, My heart will be broken
13 See I was on the verge of breaking down, Sometimes silence can seem so loud, There are miracles in life I must achieve, But first I know it starts inside of me
14 So many jokes, so many sneers, But all those oh-so-nears, Wear you down,Through the years
15 I look in your eyes, there's a distant light, And you and I know there'll be a storm tonight, This is getting serious, Are you thinking 'bout you or us?
16 His philosophy of life will steer him through, And as far as he can see, He's the same as you and me, There's nothing in the world he cannot do
17 Oh yeh, I know a goodbye when I hear it, She smiles but her heart's already out there, Walking down the street
18 I've been a player in the crowd scene, A flicker on the big screen, My soul embraces one more in a million faces, High hopes and aspirations, and years above my station
19 It's been so lonely without you here, Like a bird without a song, Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling, Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
20 And some days, it don't come easy, And some days it don't come hard, Some days it don't come at all, And these are the days that never end, And some nights you're breathing fire

Can we have our room ? At the pub ? Of course, I had already provisionally booked your room anyway, Just in case. Im not sure if your read, we have moved our open to the Sunday and plan to hold a doubles tournament on the Saturday late afternoon and early evening so I will just need to know what nights you want to stay. I am sure there will be something going on on the Friday night involving drinking . If it helps your regular neighbour has booked the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. There is one other thing, if there is the slightest wiff of smelly cheese we may demote you to the tent at the bottom of the garden. All of this is still very much dependent on covid, we are hopeful that by July we will be back to some kind of normality but we will be guided by our goverments rules. Hopefully see you in July Stay safe Dave

all of these made it into the top 5 during 1970 no more than 4 answers every 4 hours.
1 Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry, Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry
2 There's something about her hand holding mine, It's a feeling that's fine, And I just gotta say, She's really got a magical spell
3 Seagulls and aeroplanes, Things of the sky, Winds that go howlin', Breezes that sigh, City sights, Neon lights
4That's what we've got to prove, Once more we will meet with the best, Like before we'll be put to the test, Oh we will give all we've got to give
5 Cannon fire lingers in my mind, I'm so glad I'm still alive, And I've been gone for such a long time
6 We're no threat, people, we're not dirty, we're not mean, We love everybody, but we do as we please
7 It's only there tryin' to fool the public, But when it comes down to foolin' you, Now honey that's quite a different subject
8 Or loved any other, We kissed after taking vows, But that night on our honeymoon, We stayed in separate room
9 Pennyfarthings on the street riding, Motorcars were funny things, frightning, Bow and hoops and spinning tops
10 There's so many times I've let you down, So many times I've played around, I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
11 Climb the stair and then I say a prayer, For someone who could share my situation, But instead as I lay down my head, I have to leave it all to my imagination
12 I took her home to my place, Watching every move on her face, She said look, what's your game baby, Are you tryin' to put me in shame
13 Well, we drank champagne and danced all night, Under electric candlelight, She picked me up and sat me on her knee
14 Rome was not built in a day, Opposition will come your way, But the hotter the battle you see, It's the sweeter the victory
15 I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time, I'll give it right back to ya one of this days, Hahaha
16 Take a bright star and a place it on your fore-head, Say a few spells and baby, there you go, Take a black cat and sit it on your shoulder, And in the morning you'll know all you know
17 Oh, Mama Linda, she's out to get my hide, She's got a shotgun and a daughter by her side, Hey there, ladies, Johnson s free, Who's got the love, who's got the love to keep a man like me
18 Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, Better get, while the gettin's good, Hitch a ride to the end of the highway, Where the neon's turn to wood
19 Young and impatient we may be, There's no need to act foolishly, If we part our hearts won't forget it, Years from now we'll surely regret
20 If you should ever find someone new, I know he better be good to you, 'Cause if he doesn't
