Good evening all,

As previously mentioned through our Captains Page, This week we welcome the addition of two new teams from The Rose INN.
These two teams occupy, and take over the two byes we previously had wk. 1+2 from each division. Wk 1 Byes, have now been re scheduled for the catch up night on 4th November 2021. this will only require Match day 2: L8 Night vs Rose Inn A + Rose B vs Singleton Barn to be arranged during the season when this can be fitted in.

Please Assist Both teams and captains, so they are welcomed into our league as smoothly as possible.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Score Sheet has now been added to website: this has also been sent to all captains via what's app page. In the event of a draw, is the home team captain that is responsible for sending through on the group on the night. otherwise is the winning captain. Please remember both captains to sign the sheet off on the night.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, but certainly not least important. Two weeks on Thursday THE JIM WILLIAMS cross Pairs 2021/22 will commence on 30th Sept. This night has been assigned to this event which will be a knock out tournament process. as previously requested, when sending in your results this week. please also send me a message with your pairings for this tournament. Those that cannot remember the format, basically as follows, ( P1 vs P1) (P2 vs P2) (P1+2 VS P1+2 Dutch) ( P1 vs P2 ) & ( P2 vs P1 )

Jim was a superb gentlemen, and extremely well liked, He played and supported the league longer than I can remember! would be superb, if we get at least two pairs from every team, if we can get three would be fantastic for this great event. pending numbers this may be divisional, but I need all entrants before 17th Sept 2021. as mentioned this replaces league games, so should be a well received event with lots of entrants.

the venues and Ties will be drawn on the 24th Sept. but in order to format, we need in as mentioned above.

Kind regards

On the Eve, before we finally get our league back up and running, 77 weeks have passed since our last competitive games on 12th Mar 2020!

I’m delighted that we can finally begin to look forward, and contesting our tables once again!

It just as important that we remember, those we’ve sadly lost due to Covid, and through many other illness. Since we last played, some
55 weeks ago, we lost one of the finest gentlemen’s the game has seen, in our very own Jim ( James Williams). This would be the 1st season, that has commenced without this fine man taking part. When I commenced playing 23 years ago jim was still then one of the oldies. This man will always be missed but never forgotten. Due to players arrivals tomorrow night always being a little in different. Please could I ask at 9pm regardless we pause, and surround our tables, and just give thought to all those lost but never forgotten, 1 mins observed silence from all pool players!

In just 4/5 weeks time, In honour of Jim, on the 30th Sept. The Jim Williams Cross pairs 2021 will commence! Please May I ask, all pairings to be sent to me no later than wk 3: 16th Sept. so I can complete draw and venues.

Finally, apologies for long message, Has been a while, delighted to welcome you all back along, Hope you all enjoy being back, and look forward to a good challenging season with some laughter and good nights along the way.

Good morning all, As a new year begins, we hope that 2021 things begin to repair, some point soon
We will begin to put this virus behind us! I hope that you all had the best Christmas possible, under circumstances, I wish you the very best wishes and health for 2021!
It has been far too long since I’ve seen us all socializing and competing. To all those sadly lost, throughout this pandemic, I know has been very difficult to come to terms with especially when we all are isolating, Normally I’d be configuring and looking forward to the masters, but that will not happen. But health and everyone’s wellbeing is all that is important!
Let’s make sure we don’t forget those that have been taken, not just because of Covid, but to all those that have passed. One thing that I definitely want to conclude is the Jim Williams trophy, when we are safe to do so we will complete this, and then look forward to welcoming all players and venues back as we look forward in 2021! For now take care and hope that we can return ASAP.
