WE START THIS WEEK ! Summer Season 2016

We start the 57th Summer Season this week and the forecast is warming up just like our beloved game!

Thank you for those Secretaries who’ve asked for spelling corrections on player names. Next year please print better on the form! 😉

I also hope you’ve all checked you can still login and get the match card up – it won’t load properly yet as we’re not open for cards until match night but you should get a message.

Encourage those in your teams to sign up to the newsletter (so they get these updates) and like, follow and subscribe to our facebook, twitter and youtube channels!

You know it’s good when you hear the wood!

Roll on Summer!

G Section IMPORTANT FIXTURE CHANGES

G Section may be only the ‘little guys’* with only 5 teams in the section but they now have a packed fixture list for a 20 week season giving them the chance of more games and a ‘full’ season of games.

The new fixture list is available here.

Secretaries/Captains of the teams please make these known to your players and landlords/ladies/stewards hosts.

Summer League 2016 – Final Check

All the teams and player names are now in the online scoring system (thanks James/Paul) so please tell your Secretaries to check the players (and spelling!) and email if corrections are needed. You should also have received your fixture packs including new scorecards with the new Dolly Recorder’s address on (don’t use old scorecards please!) but the fixture list etc is of course available for download and printing from the website.

All team Secretaries should also try to login to ensure they are ready to enter their first winning game! Note the password reset option will only work if your username has a valid email address! Contact us if you have problems  as any teams not entering their cards online may be subject to disqualification subject to a Committee decision.

Last but not least………The G Section will have a separate fixture list as there are only 5 teams there. This will be posted online later.

On behalf of the players many thanks to Tosh but also to his other helpers in the background that help him with rolls, chairs, tables, pitch, dolls and raffle cards every week to make this Winter league the success it is.

Summer League 2016 – it all starts on Star Wars Day!

May4th.jpgFor those of you who don’t know the Summer League is starting on the 4th May (May the Fourth be with you!) – I know, but you won’t forget it now will you!

We’re putting the finishing touches to the competition and fixture lists and they’ll be going to the printers very soon then we distribute them by hand to the venues.

We have 61 teams registered this year and that means a full Premier/A and F section (10 teams), sections B,C,D, E have one bye and section G is made up of 5 teams twice over so they get plenty of Aunt Sally! We did it this way rather than confuse things with an 11 team fixture with a longer season.

We’ve also got a new sponsor this year in Matthew Tutty Plumbing & Heating so many thanks for supporting us this season Matthew!
