Competition attendances
Having reviewed competitions to date, the Committee
wishes to bring to your attention, its extreme annoyance at the attendance
figures:
Singles - 21/69 entrants
failed to attend
Pairs - 7/49 pairs failed to attend
Primary 4 A Side - 2 teams cancelled
Secondary 4 A Side - 7/10 teams failed to attend
This year the Committee opted to share the good
fortune of our sponsorship agreement by dropping entry fees and whilst
the number of entries has increased, so has apathy and lack of commitment.
Time and effort is spent organising these events
on your behalf and in many cases, the hosting venue provides food –
only for people to not even have the courtesy to ring up and say they
can’t attend.
Before anyone complains that they didn’t
know the dates, can we point out that this year only three teams submitted
competition entry forms by post – the remainder registered via the
web site, where dates are prominently displayed on at least two separate
pages.
Lack of awareness is not an acceptable excuse.
The Chairman would like to invite any non-attendees
to ring him to discuss the matter. (01993 850217)
The issues of entry fees and indeed the future
of certain competitions will need to be reviewed.
There are three remaining competitions this season:
Mixed Pairs (02/08); Ladies (09/08) and Landlords (11/08) –
if you have entered but cannot attend will you please notify us as early
as possible.

Six - the
first reported six goes to Graham Collett of the Morris Clowns - scored
in the second leg. Anyone beat that? |
| |
|
If not then a crate

the first person to score a six in each section gets a crate. |

Inter League - the full story |
02/05/2009 |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Here's the first hand
report from our team manager Dave Tillyer:- |
| |
|
"At the annual
inter league competition the 1st round saw Bampton drawn against the Yarnton
indoor league. Bampton set the first leg with a 23, Yarnton who could only
manage a low 12 in reply. The 2nd leg saw Yarnton set and put 22 on the
board, in response Bampton with six players gone needed only five for the
win but it wasn't to be. The third leg saw Bampton hit 22 and steady scoring
left Yarnton anchor man Neil Lyon need 3 for the win which he did with a
stick in hand. Rowing Machines Phil Austin 524 top scored for Bampton and
was well supported by Fox Leafields Mark Rollins 444 and Bampton president
Fred Cook 442. Result Yarnton 2 Bampton 1 After losing in the 1st round
Bampton dropped into the inter league plate competition and were drawn against
the Bicester league. A six and two fives saw Bicester mark up a respectable
26 in the 1st. In reply Kevin Giles Bampton's top doll scorer hit a blistering
six, Adey Pitts chipped in with a five only missing on his last and it was
his brother Martyn who wrapped things up, anchorman Eddie Lacey hit a 3
to give Bampton a score of 30. The 2nd leg saw Bicester set again this time
with 20. Kevin Giles was on target again with a five but was unlucky not
to have been awarded a 2nd six, Bampton passed ther target with two players
still to throw. Result Bampton 2 Bicester 0 The next round was the plate
final and saw Bampton drawn against the Kidlington league who had just dispatched
the Wychwood. Bampton set and put 23 on the board but four fours amongst
others saw kidlington anchor man Alan Goodgame need 3 to take the 1st which
he did with sticks to spare. The 2nd leg was make or break for Bampton and
after setting they only put 20 on the score sheet.With four players gone
Kidlington only had six dolls the next three players putting on another
nine leaving anchor man Goodgame five to draw six for the win. Goodgame
hit the first five and then clanged the doll off for a sixth and final time
to send Bampton out of the competition. Plate final result Kidlington 2
Bampton 0 Many thanks to all who came and supported Bampton including League
founder Bob Watts and his wife Margaret. The main inter league cup was won
yet again by the Oxford league who beat Yarnton in the final ". |

Information
Pack ( due to be sent out around April 3rd/4th ) |
| |
|
|
| |
|
We were requested
at the AGM, to send everyone a paper copy of the rules, so, we'll make up
a pack: |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
- 8 A Side - First Round Draw
|
| |
|
|

All of the above will
also be accessible from the web site within a couple of days. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
8 and 4 A
Side Competitions |
| |
|
|
| |
|
With the increased
number of sections, we feel it would be more equitable if the split point
for Primary/Secondary |
| |
|
competitions was moved: |
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Primary 4 A Side and 8 A Side
|
Premier/A/B/C |
| |
|
|
Secondary 4 A Side and 8 A Side |
D and below |
| |
|
|
| |
|
These changes are
reflected in the Rules,
which have been updated for 2009. You can also download a copy from the
'Committee Stuff' section. |

|

who played back then
and pubs long gone. |

| |
|
|
| |
|
It is with deep regret
at that we have to inform you of the untimely passing of Roy Reed, manager
of the Folly Faringdon. |
| |
|
Roy was a stalwart
supporter of the league for many years and a thoroughly nice man; he will
be sorely missed. |
| |
|
Our thought and condolences
go out to his family and friends. |

Greetings All – here we go for
2009!
1. AGM
This year’s AGM will be held
at the Morris Clown on Friday 27th March. The doors will be open at 7:30pm
to take subscription fees and the meeting will commence at 8:00pm.
A poster advertising the AGM is downloadable.
Please display it in your venue and arrange to send a representative to
support and vote on the views of your team.
2. AGM - Voting
Will members please note that if they
wish to raise an issue at the AGM that will result in a vote, that they
should notify the Committee of that issue in writing, no later than Monday
16th March.
Any item spontaneously raised from the floor can of course be discussed,
but cannot be voted on. The Committee will consider such issues and report
back to the membership.
Voting will take place using issued cards on a strictly one vote per team
basis.
3. Registration
It is currently possible to register
teams via the web site, using last year’s data to make things easier.
Note that there is an opt-in to enter the monthly Brewery Tour Prize Draw.
A registration form will be enclosed with the hard copy newsletter.
The deadline is 27th March, but we
would appreciate registration as soon as possible.
If you know of any other venues or
teams that have the desire and commitment to play in the Bampton League,
please let me know, or get them to contact me.
4. Fees
We intend the fees to remain unchanged
for 2009, so please let us have your £25, preferably in the form
of a cheque.
You can post it to me, drop it into the Horseshoe, or bring it to the
AGM. Receipts will be provided on request.
5. Supplies
Brian Collins will be invited to attend
the AGM, so if you need any sticks, dolls or posts making up, let me know.
I’ll order them in advance and you can collect them on the night.
A copy of this newsletter will be
sent to the hard copy and e-mail circulation list within
the next 24 hours
