Hi,

two BB clubs in Calne and Swindon are joining forces to host a one-day BB tourney on Saturday 20th September in Swindon, near the Magic Roundabout. Only 2 games due to the availability of the venue.

Not NAF sanctioned unfortunately, as too little notice.

We're expecting entry to cost £4 for the day. The provisional schedule is as follows:
Start: 10am
Round 1: 10.30 am to 12.30
Lunch: 12.30 to 1.30
Round 2: 1.30 to 3.30
Awards: 4.00 to 4.30
Close: 4.30

10 people coming from the 2 clubs - the more the merrier!

Cheers,

Mike

hmm, like to do this but the same weekend as the Ryder Cup so that might be difficult. Let me know what start time.

Are you in the running for the wild card slot?

To clarify, it's probably going to be a two game event due to time constraints.

I would be interested, but, to be honest, two games is hardly worth the trek. Sorry guys...hopefully you might run a two dayer in the future!!!

I have to agree with Martin. Two games is hardly worth the journey. A two-dayer at another time would be more appealing.

It sounds fun but 2 games dosent leave alot of scope for picking a winner. Throw in the NAF rankings thingy and its not so much a tournament as a couple of random games - which is nice but not as appealing.

I'm still thinking

Why not put it back 8 weeks(end of October - November is quite quiet in the UK), get three (or more games in) and get it NAF sanctioned?

Martin, why do they call you Simon?

Maybe it's his stage name - Simon the skink impersonator

OP changed.

Fair enough all - I thought we had the venue for longer, but c'est la vie. Will see how this one goes and try to organise another later on!

Anyone local who fancies a couple of games in a nice venue, more than welcome

Mike
