Poor old Suffolk forgotten about again, East Anglian Four Pin Open Saturday 19th March

* LOL don't take all the blame for it Dave, as I put similar information up (well, 90% of it) on the thread "2016 Dates for the Mid Sussex Diary" nine days earlier on the 19th November - for exactly the same reasons as you have mentioned.

I found everything I needed by trawling through the Forum, and as far as I am aware none of the information is secret, some of the events being local in nature anyway.

So I wouldn't take it to heart.


* original posts to which this was a response have since been removed.

Hopefully someone else will update the list once further dates are announced as I will not be doing that.

So who's going to do it ?

And more to the point, can whoever is found to do it kindly give the list some prominence on this site ? (I had to hunt around quite a bit to find this thread).

With all the competition dates for 2016 now known, it would also be a good exercise for someone to feed them all into the Forum Calendar.

Edit 18/12/2015 - these dates now shown on the front page of HDBBL website if it helps :

I am hoping that Sunday 26th June will see another "friendly" fixture for England against a select team.

I am sure that the usual suspects would be keen for that to happen.... but please could you avoid playing it on weekend of 23/24 July as last year the date clashed with the Sussex Off-the-Spot and BIOC Ladies competition. Many thanks.

[BB Warrior]

I am pleased to confirm that the BIOC Ladies Championships will be held at Hurst Club in Sussex on Sunday 24th July 2016.

SCBBA will also be holding the 2nd Sussex Off-the-Spot Singles on Saturday 23rd July at the same venue.

Thanks Dave,
Will amend as appropriate.

Hi Chrissie / Mods,

I have now amended my original list and included all known dates and I have highighted the County Opens and AEBBA Competitions to make them easier to identify.

A number of players have told me they find it very useful to have a full list of local and national competitions in one place so please can we leave the list here in full?

Thanks,

Dave
