those of a nervous disposition - KEEP CALM - this was a real email,

| Sixes |

| There's
been a dearth of sixes this season, so I guess it would be no surprise

| In
the Section D game beweeen Carps A and Six Inches, Graeme Woodward
got a six in the match and Tim Croft got one in the beer leg. |

| Singles
competition heats - Sunday 25th June |
21/06/2023 |
| |
| In
previous years, the heats have been drawn in advance for the selected
venues. Particularly last year, problems ensued because a high number
of no-shows imbalanced the heats. |
| As
a trial this year, we are proposing the following: |
| All
entrants please convene at the Talbot @ 6:00pm on Sunday for registration
and 'equal' allocation to the 2 venues - Horseshoe and Talbot . |
| Entrants
then move to their designated venue where an adjudicator will draw
the heats. Games to start at 6:30pm. Any queries - shout. |
| A
similar process will be used for the Pairs heats on 16/07, with assembly
at the Morris Clown and the Talbot as the second venue. |

| Recognition
of your Chairman's contribution to the local community.. |

| Obituary
update - Ben Bennett |
07/06/2023 |
| |
| Received
today from Ben's son Andy:- |
| |
| "It
was a shock to us all as it happened so quickly in the end. Unfortunately
following the car accident mum and dad had back on the 4th April,
where dad blacked out at the wheel, he suffered irreversible damage
to his heart. We think that the dizzy spells he had been suffering
with for months before this were the start of the heart failure. They
fitted an ICD after the accident and he was very upbeat and looking
forward to getting home, as we were unaware then of the condition
of the heart. He was then hit with pneumonia and from there he was
back and forth in hospital until he went in on the 15th May when he
needed more antibiotics and treatment for his water retention. Unfortunately
this was the start of the real deterioration in his health, which
took a massive change in Monday 22nd before he passed in his sleep
at 1930 on the 24th. He was so doped up on morphine and relaxants
the last 48 hours he wasn't with us at all, but knew we were with
him, my brother Neil was at his bedside when he went.
He absolutely loved his Aunt Sally and was proud to be part of
the set up of the Carterton league, as we both were. He has so many
friends that he made over the years, we believe he had be playing
for nearly 20 years or there abouts".
"The funeral is at 2pm
at South Oxfordshire Crematorium on Tuesday 27th June, then back
to Brownes Hall Carterton for a celebration of his life. Family
flowers only but any donations are for Thames Valley Air Ambulance,
as they attended the car accident and gave emergency treatment to
dad. Dad always wanted bright colours so colourful shirts/ ties
are welcome but not hawaiian style please".

League
& Byes
There are 53 teams registered for this season, so we have created
six sections.
The document 'League Structure' gives info about how this year's
league was put together and who plays where.
Sections A - E each contain a bye and
section F contains two.
This number of byes gives the opportunity to play some friendlies,
so we've created a matrix of available partners for each week of
the season, including the first 8 A Side heat.
(See 'Friendlies List')
Six of the seven teams with league byes can play friendlies each
week, so the arranging is up to you, but we'd encourage you to support
section F because they have two byes. |

Food
Provision Agreement
Sections A, B, D and E contain teams signed up to the 'Food Agreement'.

| Bernie Huckin Memorial
Aunt Sally Tournament - 28th August |
23rd Aug
|
| |
| From John Smyth Ducklington
Sports Club:- |
| |
"As some of you may
know the Dhpa Annual Flower Show takes place on Bank Holiday Monday 28th
August at Ducklington Sports Club.
For the last two years we have organised the Bernie Huckin Memorial Aunt
Sally Tournament. which was great fun and was run as a pairs competition
and won by Steve Whipp and Tony Grant in the first year and as a singles
competition last year and was won by local favourite Paul Gill.
This year we will be running the tournament again. It will be a singles
competition this year and there will be a twist.
In order to get a few more players to take part, we will give all non Aunt
Sally players a 1 doll handicap per leg.
The competition will start at 2:00 and you can register from 1:00. We
would expect to be finished by around 4:00.
There will be a lovely trophy for the winners and of course the prestige".
