Entries have now closed for 2015 and we have potentially 64 pairs an increase of nearly 20% on last year, bucking the recent trend.
We have reservations for all but a few rooms, again nearly 20% up on last year. The remaining rooms will now be handed back to the hotel for them to sell on if they have customers.
Entertainment planned is a quiz and disco on Friday plus a race night and disco on Saturday. Let me know ASAP if anyone has alternate suggestions (clean ones lads!).
There will be at least one practice table this year, but it is only fair that Guernsey players will have priority up until the international (best put it near the bar ).
One or two points that I was not aware of last year regarding rooms have been identified and I will be creating a snag list to discuss with hotel management ASAP.
Thank you for your support.
Sav

As advised on the entries list in the members only section, draw will be done tonight at the Dover And Deal League Committee Meeting.
If there is wifi at the pub I'll post it, if not it will be late tonight as I have a second meeting to attend this evening

Bournemouth balance payments are now overdue and ELEVEN rooms have outstanding balances despite balance statements being sent out two weeks ago, (plus a few entry fees to be collected).
I cannot include these rooms in the final invoice about to be agreed with the hotel and make AEBBA liable, so it's pay-up to avoid disappointment.

Hopefully everything has now been put to bed despite the most difficult year I have experienced in getting the bookings finalised.
We had a few rooms left when entries closed, they have now been sold so the hotel is full. Thus we have gone from 84 rooms in Chrissie and my first year and 52 entries to all 109 rooms and 64 entries this year. Thank you people!
Evening meals will be at 1800hrs - 2030hrs on Friday and Saturday. I remind people that there will be no reservation of tables during the weekend. It is not fair to expect 'your' table to remain empty until you feel like wandering through from the bar as the hotel is full. If you want a particular table then get there early!
Entertainment Friday & Saturday in the Purbeck Suite with Steve James on both nights; Friday: 20.30 – 22.30pm: Quiz 22.30 – 00.30: Disco Saturday: 20.30 – 22.30pm: Race Night 22.30 – 00.30: Disco
For the ale quaffers it's the ubiquitous Doom Bar in the main bar with London Pride straight from the cask when the Palace Suite Bar is open. For those of staying Thursday and/or Sunday I have not got agreement on discounted beer prices for those days when the hotel is not solely under AEBBA control but I am working on it!
If you have any problems with the hotel over the weekend then please make reception aware of it ASAP but also please let Chrissie or I know after you have approached the hotel.
Overflow parking will be at the school again, if necessary, but remember that all the guests are there for Friday night and Saturday night so double banking is less of an issue, just make sure you leave your registration with reception when booking in.
Most important is enjoy the weekend! there is bound to be the odd hiccup so please try not to get upset if you are the unfortunate ones, let us help you deal with it.
Have a great time!

Haven't they got "Tetley" this year ?

Ah well that started all too well! Got the van round to the back to load the practice table and got it on board and found I was bogged down on the grass, have spent an hour hand winching the thing back out again, tree to tree, left a right mess of the lawn!
Hoped it was dry enough this afternoon, obviously not!
