AEBBA 4-Pin Open Championships 2020

Hi All,

This post is to inform you that entries are now being taken for this competition which will once more be hosted in Northampton the day before the Northants Open.

The event takes place at the ever popular The Cock Inn on the 16th May.

Given the positive feedback regarding the 2019 format, we have opted to retain the 48 places so everyone will have plenty of opportunities to play.

In addition, Rob & Liz from The Cock have kindly offered to put on a karaoke evening to follow this event subject to enough interest. If you are keen to attend this please do let me know so that I can give them an idea of numbers to make it cost effective.

Full details can be found here:

We look forward to seeing you there!

Best wishes,

Lorin

Only 1 space left, so please be quick if you'd like to play.

We are making a reserves list in the event of someone not being able to attend.

The entry list is now full - if you'd still like to be part of it, please add your name to the reserve list as it is always possible we will have someone unable to make it at short(wish) notice.

Thanks to everyone for supporting this event again this year.

Hello everyone,

Further to my post on another thread, I can confirm that the AEBBA has taken the difficult decision to postpone this event. It remains an important event in our calendar as a result of it's popularity and so we will seek to host it when we can. An 'optimistic' date has been earmarked for 21st November.

All entry fees paid can be returned or held for the rearranged event as you wish. Do let me know if you'd like your fee returned and I will make the necessary arrangements.

I'd like to thank everyone who entered this event and look forward to seeing you all at the rearranged event when it happens.

Best wishes,

Lorin

Could anyone confirm if this tournament is definitely going ahead on the 21st of November. I’m aware that it’s still a couple of months away but wondering if any further thoughts had been discussed

Funny you should ask that, Steve .....Triplex posted this message on the thread re the Northants Open today:

Hello All

We would like to make everyone aware that we had a committee meeting last night, which we discussed The Northants Open and The AEBBA 4 Pin which we had provisionally rescheduled for November.

It is with deep regret that we have decided to cancel both of these events this year as we do not feel it would be the right thing to do because of the Covid 19 virus. With The venue we use being The Cock Hotel we felt that Social distancing for that amount of people would not be possible.

We will be looking at holding a 3 & 4 Pin Open again next year on the 15th & 16th May 2021.

We have received entry money already from quite a few, now some people have already asked me to put it towards next years events and some people would like a refund. So if everyone could let me know what you would like doing and we shall sort it as quick as possible for you. We know that not everyone uses the forum so the rest we shall contact direct.

Please do not put any personal details on here, either pm or text me.

And The NBBA would like to wish everyone the best and keep safe, and we hope to see you all next year.

Cheers for that Tommo.

Been a while since I’ve been on here.

Looks like I’ll have to move my hotel booking again. Trust you’re well.

Hi Steve, yes okay here, though - like many I expect - sad that most events on the mainland have been cancelled for this year.

Was hoping that end of Aug would see a relaxing in UK from level 3 to level 2, but the pandemic has not died down sufficiently apparently (situation has worsened in Scotland).

Most leagues would normally be starting their winter leagues round about now and I am suffering bar billiards withdrawal symptoms .... was even thinking of asking to go on the reserve list for the Northants !!!

Fingers crossed that happier times are around the corner........

With reference to people who paid upfront for the AEBBA 4 Pin Event by PayPal, this has already been given to the AEBBA treasurer.

I believe these payments are owed to the following:-

Lorin Clough
Phil Osbourne
Colin Southouse
Mark Trafford
John Tyson
Tony Jenner
James Whittle

One point to make is that obviously we at Northants are still planning to run a 3/4 Pin tournament next year, but there is a possibility that our 4 Pin may not be the AEBBA one as I believe other Counties may apply for it.
In this case the money you’ve paid won’t enter you in our 4 pin tournament. So you may want to still leave your prepayment with them for wherever it is or claim it back from the AEBBA, alternatively I’m more than happy to assist in getting it back for you.

Hope this makes sense.

Ps If you gave me cash then we at Northants still have that😉

Keep hold of mine for next years event (Hopefully it goes ahead!) Same with my Northants entry
