Good work Warrior and refreshing not to have to solicit this information as has been the case in past years,

A few observations:
1. Surrey Open is now back at St Nicholas School (presumably for the extra space);
(this was a misprint on the Nov/Dec AEBBA Newsletter - clarification has since been given)

2. Ladies County is now integrated with the Mens;

and 3. AEBBA have seen sense over the Under25's: now an Under30's.

4. Good also to see more competitions farmed out to other counties, not everything having to be at Didcot.

Oops Tommo, this may be a typo, or a very lucky guess.

Could you confirm whether the Surrey Open is at Salfords Club or the School next year....


Thanks

Also Northants has the AEBBA 4 Pin Open on the 20th May 2017

I think it is at Salfords but have asked our Chairman to confirm.

[Chris_Sav]

All these changes and differing dates for 2017, it would ne nice to see exactly what transpired at the A.G.M. via the minutes, just over a month after the meeting.

Northants DOES NOT have an AEBBA 4 Pin Open, it has it's OWN 4 Pin Open.

Which is fab but is not an AEBBA event.

And we are entering.

Thanks

Doubly good then !

Would prefer to have seen the AGM minutes first though: cart before the horse and all that...

Well all being good I'll be there along with some more from Suffolk

[BB Warrior]

I have added the Northants 4-pin competition to the list and also changed the venue for the Surrey Open to Salfords Club as I understand that will be the venue based on a list of Redhill competitions that I have received.

I've had it confirmed that Surrey Open is at the Salfords Club.

I was under the impression that the 4 Pin event this year we are holding would be run under the AEBBA?

Would be nice to get this clarified as I have been led to believe it was discussed and agreed at the AGM?

[Chris]

Apparently I may have got this wrong - just for it to be an official AEBBA event I would have thought it should have gone through as a proposal prior to the AGM - but again I may be wrong

Truly sorry if I got this wrong.

But hey I have already booked our room locally in Northants to do both events this year ..

Thanks

[daveuk1]

Not wishing to start a riot but, if the Northants 4 pin open is an official AEBBA event does this mean it will played to the same rules as the Suffolk (E.A) open as these were the rules agreed with the AEBBA for four pin tournaments

My proposal - which I have since been reliably informed was adopted - was for the recognition of three variants of the game as "Alternative Rules"
and allowed the AEBBA Committee subsequent flexibility to run one or more of these competitions as they saw fit (which could include farming them out to a county as already happens with the Off-the-Spot variant.)

Hopefully this will be reflected in the minutes when we see them !

Bump !

2 months now since the AGM and first National event on the calendar due to take place next weekend.

2016 AEBBA AGM minutes have now been issued. Thanks, Nigel.
Available to view under AEBBA Board, Annual General Meeting minutes.

I believe the Maurice Oliver triples is now being held on Saturday 3rd June at the Salfords Club.
