[iang]

Full League tables & updated masters list out tommorow.
So hope to have a few more confirmations in soon.

Tommo did Peter say anything about Micky, Dick or Rick Langridge.

Well, Peter hadn't seen them to discuss it at the time, but Dick is a 'possible' and Rick 'extremely doubtful'.
As regards Micky, he said he was going to play last year and then at the last minute didn't, so better I think to approach him direct.  

[iang]

Have updated list with latest attendees.
Have increased to 24 just in case to cover those not attending.

[Matt]

I'll speak to Tom reference this as with him tomorrow night.

It's more or less certain that Pete will be in the draw or at least first reserve.

[bigjimsilverfox]

I believe that Dave Lennon is working (according to Lynn) so will not be attending?

[Matt]

Ian


i will speak to Tom again.  Last time we spoke, he was unsure if he could attend.  will text you and update here as soon as i get an answer

[iang]

It's a no from Tom.
So still 2 players short.

[iang]

Anybody want a job.
I've never had this much trouble getting 16 eligble players who want to play. ???

[Matt]

Wow!  I knew it was bad last year but this is silly!

Next year, perhaps drop down to 8 instead or combine with finals night and do a finals day?
Either that or combine the masters with the mens singles in the comps?

something wierd happening to table 2 in the semi after Rick setting high score & break in round 2 something happened to the front left side & caused a left hand roll which unsettled both players.



Final to be played 03/05/2011

Mick Fairs V Adam Bateup
Good luck to both on Tuesday.

High Break & Score Ricky Dewdney 15170

My thanks go to all participants for staying on to provide a good day with all the usual barracking you would expect.

Thanks to Pippa from the Roffey Club for opening up early ( after a late night last night ) ;D to allow myself & Sparky in to set up the tables.
Thanks to Sparky for setting up 2 very good tables.

[Sparky]

Many thanks to Ian Giffen for coming in at 8.30am to help me prepare the tables which is pretty much all I did, however he did all the real work, both before and on the day to make this such a good event, it wouldn't have happened without him, as he created the list, chased the competitors, did the sheets and score cards, and generally ran the whole thing which ran like clockwork too....well done & thanks to Ian.

Oh yes and it seemed that there was a 'rare' partial collapse of the front left leg when Ricky pulled the handle (well I haven't heard or seen that happen before). I originally thought it was because of loose screws holding the metal 'male' thread/plate onto the wooden foot but had a quick look after the event and now think it was actually the 'Female' metal housing in the leg itself that was loose and chose that moment to push further up into the leg...............and ruined the game for Ricky who had played superbly up to that moment.

[bigjimsilverfox]

Yes I would like to thank Ian And Sparky for oragaising a well run event, plenty of good banter around the room and some good billiards too!


Ian just a point on the high break I think that Ricky must have it as in the first leg he opened with 15k and I played the remaining timeout? In both games we had 1 visit each to the table! ;)
2nd round.
Rick Dewdney 27150 Jim Greensted 4640

High Break Mick Fairs 14130
High Score Mick Fairs 15170

[iang]

Thanks Jim.
I was a bit brain dead yesterday night.
your right
I have Ricky down as 15170 a good standard allround Lorraine pushed Adam all the way, Dick did well & came back from 6K down.

Also a Happy Birthday to Dick Cable for yesterday ;D
