That seemed close to ideal as a BB venue, delighted you retained it and fully expect to be there.

No one appears to be objecting to the later start, so I'll confirm with the venue and get a rules pack written asap.
Will be in the region of £12.
Rules may be 120TV, must spend 200k on star players, which can be in the starting 11, apothecary can be used on stars.

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

And within a week the venue, The Junction, has "reminded" me that we'd have to be out by 1800 "in case they have an evening booking", and for me to book it I need to drop £500.....

FFS :pissed:


Stay tuned for news.....
Suffice to say, yet again, I am moving venue.

Have you tried Essex - there are many reliable venues here (I am aware this is potentially unhelpful) ...

I like Andover - not the place in itself but it is 37 minutes closer than the south coast for me to get to.

It is with a heavy heart that I say I am cancelling the Exiles Open.

In the short story version I am tired of venue hunting. Over the last 10 years we've been at 4 different venues after being dropped by each one. The last one dropping me and the hunt for a new place is exhausting me; no one is replying to calls, messages, emails etc. So many people never replying, the ones who do want too much money. I've had enough.
There are other reasons that I'm not going into.

I've refunded Fisher and Tankface.

See you at other events :)
