Limes Triples (now known as the Maurice Oliver Triples) - Saturday 25th 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)
For the random Draw beforehand every name goes into a hat for either Pool A, Pool B or Pool C dependent on skill level. Each of the Triples thus drawn at random is put into one of three or 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 15 slots left - available to anyone interested (you don't have to belong to Redhill !) You can notify your interest on here - but please follow up by phoning Jason who is maintaining the list of competitors. (You may PM me for Jason's number.)
PS. The next day is the England v County Select friendly.......so a good chance to have a look at the tables beforehand !
