Limes Triples 2013 (now known as the Maurice Oliver Triples) - Saturday 29th June. 11am registration for 11.30 start.
This is a fun competition, held annually at the Limes, South Merstham (great pub) for Redhill League members and a limited number of special guests. (To find the Limes, once you go under the bridge turn right down Albury Road rather than straight on/left to St Nick's School)
The entry is hopefully 48, and for the Draw beforehand every name goes into a hat for either Pool A, Pool B or Pool C dependent on skill level. Each of the 16 Triples thus drawn at random is put into one of four groups, and you play against the other 3 triples in your group, then there's quarterfinals, semifinals and the grand Final. And of course a Plate competition. £3 to enter - includes the Plate.
The C-rated player in the combi has 1st break in first prelim game, the B player first go in the 2nd game and the A player goes first in the 3rd game. At all times 3000 is the maximum break, if you go over you not only lose the break but have to wear a dunce's/jester's/donkey/clown's hat until someone else does similar or has a black peg to take it off you.
Always a great day with lots of see-sawing in fortune (and ee-awing !) and the inevitable great banter. ;)
Colin Robbins has asked me to publicise this event, and as of today there are still 7 slots left, these will be filled on a first-come first-served basis: if not already in the competition you can notify your interest on here - or PM me for Colin's contact details.

Thanks fot advertising the details Clive, it will be nice to see a full complement there on the day.
One correction to the playing format is the C ranked player (often the most effective!) is the player to break in all legs. Each leg lasts for around 35 mins (2 pulls of the bar) so stamina plays a part as well!! Looking forward to the day.
