Jeannie Hickling Funeral

The Funeral of Jeannie Hickling will take place on Thursday 20th October at 2.40pm in the Main Chapel of Wilford Hill Crematorium.

Then afterwards everyone is welcome back at the Ruddington Estate Social Club

Jeannie Hickling

I have been asked by the former secretary of the league Keith Hickling to pass on the sad news that his wife Jeannie passed away on Tuesday. I'm sure a lot of you knew Jeannie from her time playing in the South Notts League with Keith for the Ruddington Estate Club.

On behalf of the league I would like to send our condolences to Keith and his family at this sad time.

I will post details about the funeral arrangements when I have them.

NEW Winter Season REMINDER

Just a quick reminder to everyone that all forms (including player registration forms) for the Winter League 2011-12 season should be with me by Monday 19th September.

This then gives me time to compile the fixture schedule ahead of the next meeting which is on Monday 26th September at 8:15pm at the Ruddington Estate Club.

Thanks to the teams that have already got their forms in to me

NEW Winter League Season

This year's winter league will start on Wednesday 5th October 2011.

The fixtures meeting for the NEW season will be on Monday 26th September 2011 at the Ruddington Estate Club at 8:15pm. Please make sure that if you enter a team that a representative from your side attends this meeting.

I have sent out all the necessary forms for the new season and you should all receive these shortly. PLEASE CAN YOU MAKE SURE YOU SEND BACK ALL COMPLETED FORMS BY SUNDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER

If you need any copies of these forms they are available on the downloads page

Proposals for AGM 2011

I have received the following proposals to be discussed at this years AGM which takes place on Monday 8th August at the Radcliffe RBL at 8pm:

Proposal from Mark Johnson:

Honorariums that are currently only payed to the Secretary, Treasurer and Results Secretary should be changed to also include the Chairman of the League, I propose these should be changed from £75 to £50 each. (plus this should be added into the rules of the league under section 2)

With the current number of teams in the league I feel this reduction from £75 is a more viable solution than paying 4 people £75 each (£300). If the number of teams in the league were to increase significantly then the payments could be increased accordingly at that time.

Proposals from Test Match pub:

The Test Match would like to propose the following for the winter league this year:

1) In Darts we would like to see SIX SINGLES and THREE PAIRS matches in games.

2) In Dominoes there should be FIVE PAIRS games of 61 holes.

3) Along with the format changes we would also like to see that every member of a team who turns up on that evening should be guaranteed a game of either DARTS or DOMINOES.

This will prevent a team from only playing their best players in matches and leaving other members without a game.

If a team fails to have enough players to complete their side then the player’s names of those present must be put in a hat and drawn out for the final game just before the start of that game

Summer Cup 2011

Hopefully everyone will have received everything they need in the post for the Summer Cup which starts on Wednesday 6th July. You can download a copy of the fixtures if you need one.

Presentation Evening 2011

Many Thanks to everyone that turned up for last nights presentation evening, I hope you all had an enjoyable night.

Phil Dames walked off £50 richer after scoring 335 to win the 9 dart high score competition. Runners Up prizes went to Eileen Stevens (238) and Ian Williams (219).

Also thanks to Dave Russon for all his help on the night, Ann Russon for selling the raffle tickets and Roy Stevens for acting as doorman!

Summer Cup 2011

We are now looking for teams to enter the Leagues Summer Cup 2011.

This is a fun competition that combines darts and dominoes and is intended to give new teams an idea about the league before hopefully joining the main winter league. Only 6 players are required to form a team.

If you are interested in entering a team you can download an information pack for further details.
