How to get there............
www.wheresbest.co.uk/venue/117411/Reigate-Ex-Service-&-Social-Club/

I have found the best way when approaching from the South is:
1. Straight on up the hill after reaching the Angel, Woodhatch crossroads, and down the other side !
2. Before you reach the town, take the last turning on the right, Lesbourne Road. This road cuts back sharply.
3. Past a pub on the right, past the "no entry" road, look out for Chart Lane on the right, and turn here.
4. A short way along there is an angled crossroads with the Reigate Ex-Services Club on a sort of cliff to the left.
5. Good luck with the parking is all I can say !

........and for those approaching from the North:
1. Exit the M25 at Reigate Hill (Junction 8) and take the A217 leading down into Reigate.
2. Over the railway crossing, then follow the one-way system which leads you out into Bell Street (left turn at T junction) which will now head you due south.
3. Look out for Lesbourne Road on the left, then follow 3) to 5) above.

Just a further note for Lorraine and Jean:

Can you remember to bring the Perpetual trophies with you when you come on Sunday please ?

Many thanks on behalf of the Redhill Committee.

Well done to Bobby Davis - Redhill's own octogenarian was eliminated at the first stage by Margo, but then went all the way to the Semi-Final of the Plate with wins over Angie Turner, Kirsty Jarvis and Trish Wadsworth before falling to Bella Stoner. That makes TEN frames of bar billiards - on top of the five she played in the Blind Pairs yesterday ! :o :o :o

Grateful thanks to the Reigate Ex-Services staff, to Colin and Brenda for the catering, to Dave Alder for the delivery/collection of tables, to those who arrived early to set them up, to the table sponsors, to those who kindly donated raffle prizes and to Genette for selling the tickets, and last but not least to Caroline Jones on the Admin Desk ably assisted by master of ceremonies Gary Powell.

Congratulations Ali on your superb win yesterday and Jean for winning the plate competition. Also well done to Pauline and Bella for coming runners up. A superbly organised and brilliant day.

[Chunky Monkey]

Congratulations Alison on winning the Main and Jean for winning the Plate.

Let us know what you think of the new venue, peeps. ;)

I thought the tables fitted in there rather nicely - and the beer prices were good, too. :D

We thought that the venue was very good for a competition of this size, room to sit down and watch the games and still move around to the bar and nice outdoor patio area...... 8-)

Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices, excellent range of food (as always) from Colin & Brenda and the usual friendly welcome from the organisers and players from Redhill..... ;D

Many thanks to everybody involved for a great weekend...... and congraulations to Alison & Jean for their victories on the day. ;)

Excellently organised and very well run day by Surrey Officials!! Many Congrats to all winners!!

Bar staff friendly and very helpful and service was excellent.

Room was rather dark and a little too small I felt... especially when you look at the wonderful size of the school.. however bar prices and choice was far better..

There was a problem with tables 5 and 4 as they were placed right where the carpet meets the dance floor which causes a substantial ridge under your foot when playing ... especially if you are a short **** :-X like me ;) ;D

Fair comments, and we need feedback or else we don't know what areas to try and improve for the next time.

I've personally always had the parking down as a mark against the venue, but being a Sunday, it didn't seem too congested.
