Hi Everyone, just a quick update now that bookings have started coming in. I am sorry to say we are now out of Single Rooms. We will no longer be able to take bookings for single rooms, if you have a specific reason for requiring a single room please get in contact with me or Mum and we will see if anything can be done for you in exceptional circumstances (this may incur a supplement). Thank you to everyone who has booked so far :) Sam x

Hi Everyone, thanks so much to everyone that has booked already looks like this event is going to be well supported again next year. Mum has asked me to let everyone know the entry fee for the tournament will remain that same as this year at £5 per person. If this could be made on or before the final payment on the 31st January 2021. We will only include the names of those paid into the draw. Thanks Again :)

Hi all - just a quick update - all seaview rooms have now been allocated therefore we are not able to take any further bookings for seaview rooms.
Please get your booking forms in early to avoid disappointment on other rooms.
Thank you to those who have booked already - we have had a fantastic response!
Thanks
Chelle & Sami

Hello All. I hate to be the one to raise this subject but, in view of everything that is happening at the moment and with only 2 months until the competition is due to be played, I have to ask what are the realistic chances of this taking place? 🤔 Much as I want to be playing again, the current restrictions do not allow this even at local level so I feel that it is highly unlikely that a national event that normally has in excess of 100 people attending is unlikely to be allowed in a couple of months. 😔 If it is postponed, is there an alternative date that has been arranged with the hotel at this stage? It would be to lose the event entirely this year when the chances of playing it later in the year look more positive than they do at the present time...

HI all Thanks for raising Dave and as i said the other day it is looking incredibly unlikely but have not had confirmation from hotel yet - i will chase this today. I think looking at the current situation we should try and get another date later in the year and thought maybe September? I am not sure the hotel would want to give us exclusive use in their peak months ie July and August. i dont know what others thoughts are but i think changing the date would give us all something to look forward to in these unprecedented times. I will update further once i have spoken to the hotel.

Hi Chelle, thanks for replying and I would certainly agree with everything that you have said and feel that postponing it is the only real option at the moment. 😢
Obviously many of us (maybe even all of us at the moment) are currently in Tier 4 of the Covid rules and the government are talking about making these more severe and extending them to cover more of the country in the near future so it will take a huge change before the situation returns to "normal" and allows us to safely play in competitions. 🤔
Even if the threat from the Covid virus does start to diminish and the new vaccines prove effective, it will certainly take time before we are all allowed to meet together.... please remember that even in Tier 1 that only SIX people are allowed to meet up together indoors and how long will it take to get down to there from where we are now? 😞
A big thank you to everyone involved in organising and (hopefully) running this competition and the other events planned for this year.... let's hope that we can all meet up safely and enjoy playing the game soon. 😀

Think we should definitely look at moving this to later in the year and if that is the case I assume if people are unavailable for the rearranged dates that they would be refunded any monies already paid. I am aware that September is a time a lot of people are on holiday so can see clashes.
Not going to be an easy year to fit everything in as cannot see much going ahead before April.

Dear All
Given the slow rate of the vaccine rollout can't see anything much until late Autumn to be honest.
I do hope not as bored stiff except for going to work.

Thanks for the update chelle. We have already postponed the four pin tournament that was due to played in March, after the Bournemouth weekend, we have rescheduled for July, but after the things I've just listened to, I'm already starting to think that may be a little ambitious.
People's lives obviously come before our great game

I think that the government announcement tonight about the new lockdown has meant that there is no chance of this taking place in March now. 😢
Let's hope that the hotel are able to offer an alternative date later in the year and that things will be better by then to enable us all to meet up safely and play some games. 😎

I have spoken to Jean and she has confirmed the dates wont clash with any other AEBBA comps, luckily enough the weekends before and after are booked in for comps so look like fate has stepped in to lend us a hand! I am sure you will all agree it would be great to still hold this event in 2021 and give us all something to look forward to - please let us have any comments and if all ok i will confirm the booking as this is the only weekend they have left in 2021 for a party our size. Hope yo are all coping and look forward to seeing you all as soon as possible! Michelle & Sami

I have just heard back from the hotel and the date has been agreed - at last something to look forward to that might actually happen! We have also had a couple of new bookings due to the date suiting better! cant wait to see everyone again - it has been far too long!!
