Dear All

Firstly could I sincerely thank the Queens Hotel Bournemouth for hosting yet another fabulous weekend !!
They could not do more for us and the food this year was fabulous.


I have noted any very small anomalies and this will be sorted for 2017.

THANKS GO TO

Thank you to Dave Ingram for all his sterling work, collecting entries and sorting payments

To the wonderful Colleen who yet again raised £550 on the raffle - wow what a star !!

To Dave Alder, Stuart Mepham and Dennis Atkins plus the hotel staff for setting up the tables, running the whole tournament and ensuring tables played well daily Could not happen without you all

To Nigel for the schedule of play

More importantly - to all you wonderful players and guests - we would not have a tournament without you

So to 2017 ----

I have had a brief conversation with Daniel and we are looking at the 3rd - 5th March 2017. Prices will be £100 2 nights half board and all other prices will be rounded so expect to only pay 5p to 10p more next year.

All other information will follow but next year you will receive a printed programme with agreed times, drinks prices attached

As previously stated a great big kiss (From Kylie Minogue) goes out to all involved in running and organising Bournmouth this year. Twas as much fun as ever.
And nice to see a pair from High Wickham attending and it's a shame that those that are successful don't have time to wander round Bournmouth, We found a nice cocktail bar called the Turtle Bay with a Jamaican theme and another a wine bar called Cuccinis which had a lady Jazz Saxophonist on show. A small note not to have the event on mothering Sunday weekend as the Spa was completely booked(..thought I might save some money but the Missus was not daunted and went elsewhere doh)

However, I feel it important to air my thoughts on another aspect, sadly, the continual lack of scorers early in the event was out of order, with plenty looking the other way when tables were waiting to start and I hope those that did hide will think about what to do next year, I did see several regularly offering service without being cajoled and my thanks go out to them as well as we all know who they are. I even saw Dave Alder take the scorers chair at one point because no one else was prepared to do it and he obviously had other duties to complete... Shame on all you hiders out there

[BB Warrior]

Congratulations to Nigel & Marcus on winning the AEBBA Pairs at Bournemouth this weekend beating Gareth & Richard in the final, also to Paul & Bernie for winning the Plate Competition in a very close final against Jim & Rick.

Nigel in particular was on awesome form the whole weekend running out table after table and hitting three 20k plus breaks in the process and there were many high scoring games on tables that were all playing very well.... together with plenty of shock results along the way as well!

Here are the latter stages of both competitions....

Main - Quarter Finals
Keith Sheard & Pauline Withey lost to Nigel & Marcus (Keith just falling a few hundred points short of Nigel's 18k+ play-out)
Dave Tooke & Phil Hawkins lost to Dave Ingram & Jim Millward (Phil had a ball fall off the spot when playing the break chasings Dave I's 17k target)
Matt Jones & Doug Carswell beat Phil Collins & Leon Beer (Matt played table out for 18k, Phil broke down on 12k in reply)
Jon Bamsey & Tony Willis lost to Gareth & Richard (both pairs had chances from what I saw)

Main Semi-Finals
Nigel & Marcus beat Dave & Jim (on aggregate, approx 37k to 34k)
Nigel played table out for 20.4k. Dave played table out for 19.4k. Marcus off on 2.5k, Dave ran table out with 14.5k. Jim whipped a 10 split out at 3k, ball ended up behind 10 hole and then missed the ball off side cushion, Nigel got balls back and played table out for 15k

Matt & Doug lost to Gareth & Richard 3-0
I didn't see this game but understand that Richard made about 16k in first game, Matt was called for a foul shot early in the second game and Gareth took full advantage then went in with 10k in the third game to make sure

Final
Nigel & Marcus beat Gareth & Richard 3-0
Richard off early, Nigel first to get the balls back and ran the table out. Nigel ran the table out again in the 2nd leg. Gareth pegged 13k and Nigel finished it off.

Plate Quarter-Finals
Jim Greensted & Rick Dewdney beat Andy Burns & Keith Lewendon
Bill Keenan & Roger Bowen lost to Paul Lovegrove & Paul Butcher
James Jeanne & James Pallot beat Dave Mitchell & Ron Britton
Ian Moss & Alan Lacey lost to Bernie McCluskey & Paul Sainsbury

Plate Semi-Finals
Jim & Rick beat Paul & Paul
James & James lost to Bernie & Paul

Plate Final
Jim & Rick lost to Bernie & Paul on aggregate
I didn't see any of the first 3 frames at which time jim & Rick were leading 2-1 and were about 5k up on aggregate. Bernie came off at just under 8k and Jim got th break back straight away and looked set the secure the win before a miscue meant he missed a ball at the back, Paul didn't get the break back but Rick did but then came off leaving Bernie to secure the win on aggregate at the end.

High Break Award - Nigel Senior (21,370)
Ladies High Break Award - Bella Stoner (7,950)

AEBBA Merit Performance Award - Jack Baden (age 15) who made a terrific 5.5k break in one of the main competition games.

It was great to see so many people there for the weekend and I think that most people enjoyed the entertainment (Race Night, Karaoke, Quiz Night, Disco etc) that was arranged by Chrissie Newson and the Queens Hotel.... one of the things that sets this weekend apart from other competitions is the "Family Atmosphere" that is there and it was brilliant to see plenty of children there as well.

Jersey sent over a strong team to play in the international against the England team and I hope that all of their players and family enjoyed the weekend as well. I understand that the next match against Jersey will be played in November 2017 over the weekend of the world championships and feel sure that they will be keen to avenge the 22-11 win for the England team on this occasion.

As always there are so many people to thank.... Chrissie Newson who did so much work organsing and arranging everything with the hotel including sorting out additional nights and changes to people that were staying at the hotel at very short notice. Chrissie you are a TOTAL STAR!

To Dave Alder for running the Admin Desk, bringing down the tables and the millions of other jobs that he does without anyone ever noticing! Thank you so much.

To Dennis Atkins and Stuart Mepham who set up the tables for us to play on, the scores that were made over the weekend are testament to what a good job they did.

To Nigel Senior for working out the format for the matches.... and (in anticipation) of his hard work in getting the results of this (amd other) competitions on the AEBBA Website.

TO Colleen Park who raised £550 from the raffle despite being hardly able to speak because of a sore throat.... the hat that Chrissie made clearly helped to raise peoples attention and Colleen was tireless in going round the room. Thanks also to Chrissie for getting the raffle prizes and also to those that I believe donated some.

To the management and staff at the Queens Hotel..... for hosting and sponsoring the event, I thought that the food was good and all of the staff that I spoke to were very helpful and gave good service.

To all of the players that helped to take the tables down at the end of the competition and get them into the van.

A brilliant weekend.

Finding scorers does often seem to be a problem, possibly more often at Bournemouth than in some of the others tournaments due to the fact that many "social players" are hesitatant about scoring a game that could involve very high scores depending on the people taking part in that game and they do not want to run the risk of making a mistake. I can understand that and this would be the reason that I would not really want to see it being made compulsory for the loser to score the next game on the table that they have just played which has been suggested before.

Having said that, I would also agree that there are a lot of "regular players" in competitions that never seem to make themselves available to score games and that is disappointing.

On the good side, it was nice to see a good crowd of people there to actually watch the finals today.

Maybe we should put a tally on every event on how many games people score as I know I seemed to score back to back and so did Matt knight and many others I would also like to add I was the person who called the foul shot it was my decision and I called it straight away it was a foul and that is it as far as I am concerned but well done dave crisis dave and Colleen for all hard work this weekend

[bigtj]

What a great weekend and thanks to all that worked so hard to make it happen and to making a smooth and well run weekend on excellent tables.

To Chrissie for securing the deal for next year, but I have had to tell Liz she may not be able to come due to the steep increase in prices!!
