2018 world champs

[milhouse]

We were having a discussion at our league match last night that we hadn't seen any entry forms come out yet? Only 3 months to go, I am sure they are usually out by now?

[lemon]

Good Day to you all.

Milhouse you are correct the entry forms are normally out by now and you just beat me to it.

Entry forms are now available by downloading from our website - click on the World Championship logo on our home page, this will take you to a new page from where the forms may be loaded.

Please note change of address for sending forms - closing date is Friday 19th October.

Hope to see many old and some new faces in November

Graeme Le Monnier - Tournament director

Good Evening All,

Sean spotted my deliberate mistake in that I had not changed the T-shirt colours from last year.
Form has been up-dated and new one posted on our Website.

Colours now Black, Light Blue, Maroon and Charcoal.

If you have ordered a shirt or hoody on the old form you may change or keep your original choice of colour. Please PM me if you wish to change colour if form already submitted.

kind regards
Graeme

[Secretary J.B.B.L.]

All,

One further point to note when booking rooms with the Merton. Please ensure you quote 'Bar Billiards' when phoning up, as without this you will not receive any deal and receive the standard rate.

Obviously airlines occasionally encourage you to book via them and may offer a better rate still but we unfortunately cannot control these deals.

Regards
Sean

Love this weekend so it is what it is for me, can`t wait already counting the days!!

[marmite]

At the other end of the scale is there any chance of a polo in XXXXL as I know a larger person who would like one.NOT ENOUGH XXXXXXX s

[lemon]

Hi all,

I can confirm that polo shirts can go as large as 5XL and hoodies can be as small as XS. In both cases colours are limited so please let me know your first and second colour choice and I will ask the question to our supplier.
kind regards,
Graeme

Evening again,

Second part of the draws - the doubles. This year you will see that for various reasons Sean and myself have decided to extend the doubles draw to include all those who entered therefore 68 pairs are taking part. This has meant that there shall be 4 games played in a preliminary round which will kick the Friday evening off, the rest will follow on as usual. Just because we have extended the draw this year does not mean that this will be the case in future years. Any queries please ask at the weekend.
