I have recurring trouble with the coin mechanism on our league table in Nottingham. The bar never raises when I put the coin in, however it seems to be only me that has trouble with it. It's an electronic mechanism, is there a knack to it or something I could be doing wrong, as I'm sure I do it exactly the same as everyone else.

Hopefully with the format I'm going for it should be nice and simple to update it to the current rules :)

I'm currently having a go at rewriting and re-organising the rulebook, to make the relevant sections easier to find. This is what I have so far, it's unfinished, there are no changes to any of the rules, just the phrasing, and of course, any feedback is appreciated. I was going to wait until I'd finished the whole thing, but now I'm on to the constitutional sections, which will be left untouched anyway, and the rankings, which is just a matter of rephrasing things. This is the link

I'm currently looking into the option of streaming our plate and play-off finals this weekend. Planning on doing a test run tomorrow night for the first plate semifinal and if it works, then we're going for it!

Can we please add this as the Nottingham bar billiards logo instead of the coat of arms?

We're into the playoffs now, I'm playing Pete who finished third on Sunday for a place in the final!

As it's Nottingham being voted on, will I be able to join the call?

Them's the rules, it seems!

Looks like the discussion was not minuted, so we shall await affiliation next year.

Pending the arrival of the minutes of the 2017 A.G.M. no votes for admission of new counties were taken at the A.G.M. whilst I was there. I think that due to a number of members seeming to think that we somehow cheated our way in (despite not even being present), we will withdraw our affiliation this year and go through the "proper" channels next year...

In fairness, we were invited to apply by the Chairman after the deadline had passed, so it likely was tacked on at the very end. I'd hope that nobody would oppose expanding the reach of the AEBBA though?

I've just had confirmation from the Secretary that Nottingham have been affiliated.

Post by joefoxon on Dec 4, 2017 11:45:14 GMT
I was invited to take part due to our league only just beginning and in good faith of our intentions to affiliate, which I believe would have been discussed yesterday?

I've been put down as Northants again on the Under 30's results. Can somebody change this?

I'd like a copy of my results if possible please, so I can put them on the Nottingham website :)

I ended up making two very improbable one minute connections, and actually arrived for just after 9!
I enjoyed the day very much, although I did have a four hour gap between my third and my final game! It was a long day and I was so tired when I got back, that I've only just woken up!

Looks like a little stroke of luck might get me there for 10:15 instead. As long as I can get from Victoria to Paddington in 45 minutes.

Has anyone answered Joe ?? Not yet, I can get a bus, but I'd arrive at 11:15

Post by joefoxon on Nov 25, 2017 11:54:54 GMT
Is anybody driving down tomorrow, as I'm looking for a way to get from Reading station to Arborfield. The taxi fares are extorionate and the bus will get me there too late!
|

Post by joefoxon on Nov 23, 2017 20:29:35 GMT
My train gets to Reading at 10:04, so it'll depend on transport to Arborfield for me, but I'll definitely be there

Post by joefoxon on Nov 23, 2017 11:21:00 GMT
We'll apply for associate membership for now, as I'd like to see if we have enough interested players to compete in AEBBA tournaments
|

Post by joefoxon on Nov 22, 2017 1:04:02 GMT
What is the fee for associate membership? Nottingham would consider joining the AEBBA.

Yes, I'm in. Cracked the transport conundrum!

The ANBBA is nothing to do with us! They're a group that used to play in the Newshouse but stopped about two years ago.

Will be visiting some bar billiards playing friends in London next weekend. Anybody got any up-to-date tips on tables?

Didn't take long for someone to pick that up! I look forward to bringing some players to tournaments in the not-too-distant future too!

Just spotted yesterday that on the Northants Open 2016 and All-Time Opens, I'm listed as being from Northants. At the time of competing (and to date) I am in Notts, where I really hope I can get things moving again on a league!
