REGISTRATION MEETING DATE

THE SNOOKER LEAGUE REGISTRATION MEETING for the 2011/2012 season will be held at Belper Strutt Club (6 Campbell Street DE56 1AP) on Tuesday August 30th @ 7.45pm.
CLICK HERE to download your entry form now! Go to "file" menu and then "print PDF" or alternatively you can save it to your computer and then print it.
All teams wishing to compete next season should attend with their registration form and entry fees (£7.50 per player up to 4 and £2 per extra player).
If registering extra players, it is also possible to pay for these along with your match fees later in the season for convenience, so the minimum initial payment is effectively £30 per team.

This will include more than in previous years, the Capts Cup fee is included this time instead of paying separately, as is the newly formed Six Red Cup team event and there will also be a Plate for 1st and 2nd round losers in the Capts Cup so there are less blank weeks.

Plus there is bonus entry into the OMYA Cup Individual Scratch competition which will be played early season in house amongst each team so as one representative each goes into the main draw.

And there will be a play-off for the top four teams in each Division at the end of the season with each divisional representative playing each other in the Grand Final.
The website registration too which was on a free one season trial basis last year is also included.

Plus theres the usual voluntary competitions like the Open Handicap, B Individual, Pairs Handicap and Hartshorne Cup.

As well as a Shootout style Night most likely just prior to Christmas with the theme being on some fun novelty events that really anyone could win on the night. So plenty to look forward to!!

A couple of the competitions will most likely be drawn at the meeting itself so its important that the names are in by this date, otherwise you could miss out on some of the events.

So if you can't make the meeting let me know at bolehillsec@yahoo.co.uk or give me a ring on 07890 985830 and will sort something out as regards collecting the form and monies - I've added the option to pay online via Paypal too (see top right) if you find it easier to do it that way but don't forget to send in the form too!!

The updated league snooker rules from the AGM are also on the results website too HERE as of now. Cheers Rick.

WHERE WE ARE STRUTTING OUR STUFF!

JUST to avoid confusion, not sure how many people immediately noticed but Belper Strutt Club (where we hold our team entry meeting on Tuesday August 30 @ 7.45pm, see above) is actually based at 6 Campbell Street DE56 1AP not Strutt Street as it originally said on the entry form.

Strutt Street is actually the street above where Belper Royal British Legion is based so hopefully they will kindly forward any lost souls who may have come from afar!

I hope the committee did realise this when they re-named the club, only joking of course lol. But certainly had me fooled (not too difficult)!
Any further downloads will have the correct address on anyhow!! Cheers Rick.
