Selly Oak Elim Pool & Darts Leagues

 

Pool League

 

The Selly oak Elim Pool League was set up in 2006 to act as a Social event which would, as it's main priority, raise funds for orphans in Uganda. The funds were sent via Pastor Joseph Serwadda of the Victory Christian Centre in Kampala and then distributed as food, clothing, etc. to the needy.

Since then the League's fund raising has benefited various other organisations and currently raised funds are going to the Acorn Children's Hospice which is a local charity caring for disadvantaged / handicapped children.

 

Darts League

 

The darts league is a new addition for 2010.

The first event was held as a friendly warmup and social on the afternoon of Sunday 4th April. As it was an impromptu gathering we were very pleased that 6 people turned up and, as the saying goes, fun was had by all.

We played a mixture of 301, golf, clock & killer and I believe everyone won at least one game of something.

 

The next Tournament / League is being held on Monday 24th May @ 7:30pm, so I hope to see you there.

 

Please remember that places for the leagues and Tournaments are being STRICTLY limited so as to try and ensure that it doesn't start to drag and last too long due to work obligations so it is ESSENTIAL that you E-MAIL darts@NetData-Systems.co.uk and ask to be reserved a place. (If you simply turn up on the night then don't be surprised if you are unable to play. You HAVE been warned.)

ALSO PLEASE NOTE :

As places ARE being limited they will be allocated on a STRICTLY FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS.

ALSO you MUST be able to be there NO LATER THAN 7:25pm. IF YOU CAN'T THEN DON'T RESERVE A PLACE AS WE WILL NOT WAIT. Sorry, but gone are the days where we're going to sit around hoping you're going to turn up to play.

Additionally, places for the following tournament will be offered at the one being run, eg if we decide to hold the next tournament on Monday 31st April, the people who attend the tournament on the 19th will be offered places first and ONLY if any places are left will they be offered to anyone else, BUT let us know if you would like to be a reserve incase anyone DOES drop out.

Costs for this first one will be just £1 per person, BUT if you DO NOT have YOUR OWN darts, don't panic, you can hire a set from us BUT the cost of these will be £1 EACH NIGHT YOU HIRE THEM, and as darts can be purchased from various retail outlets (such as John Lewis, Argos, etc) for as little as £5 / £6 it wouldn't take long for it to be cheaper for you to just buy your own set.

So, don't forget to e-mail me so I can reserve you a place (or let you know that we are fully booked) and we look forward to seeing you on the 19th at 7:15pm

OK Folks, AT LONG LAST it's back on again ! ! ! (hurray, whoops of joy, high pitched whistles, etc, etc, etc).

 

The Pool League has held three events this year and has been a quiet success with three new faces joining the "old hands".

 

Funds have again been raised and the BIG BREAKING NEWS is that we now have enough to finally get  

THE TABLE RECLOTHED ! ! ! !

 

 

 

The latest league was also the closest run event of the year and was won by Trevor Parker (one of the new comers to the league) and on Monday 7th December we held a special "Doubles, Partner Swapping, Round Robin, Alternate Shots Tournament".

This event was won by Abdul and Tony Pash

 

 

The next event will be held on ....

 

We are now going to take a little break over Christmas and the New Year and the next event will (probably) be a League to be held from the middle of January.

 

Anyone interested in taking part will need to contact Steve Cleaver or Tony Pash but BE AWARE :- We have taken the decision that the field will be limited to 12 players. So it's first come first counted.

 

The cost will be £1.50 - £2 each per week. (Number of weeks to be determined by the number of entrants). Proceeds will continue to go to the Acorns Children's charity.

 

We managed to raise over £300 for Uganda through 2008 and we are just working out how much has been raised this year for the Acorns Trust.
