All teams should now be fully paid up with their subs. The few teams that remain in debt will shortly be approached for full payment, and failure to do so may result in suspension.
Entry forms for the Ladies Open and Mixed Doubles are now available to download and should be returned at April’s meeting complete with fees.
With the exception of the female player in the Mixed Doubles, all other players must be registered with the league.
The first Finals Day of the season will be held on Sunday March 22 at Supreme Sports Lounge. The last 16 of the Seniors will kick off at 1pm.
To fulfil your league obligations, it is mandatory that all teams play both home and away. If you consistently fail to attend away matches you will be faced with expulsion from the league.
Good luck to all Bristol County teams who are off to their respective Finals over the next two weeks, we hope you bring back the top prizes!
Several league matches have been rearranged to accommodate these teams meaning that the league tables will be slightly out of synch for a while until they have played catch up.
This book and the leagues website should be read in conjunction with each other. Here you will find all the information required to correctly fulfil your matches and admin responsibilities. We stride to fully update the website at the very latest each Sunday afternoon following each monthly league meeting.
Our current rule sheet should be displayed near the playing area of your team’s home venue. If there is a need to refer to them during a game, the current copy should be available for quick reference.
In an attempt to reduce our overheads, we have introduced an Email Information Service to provide members with monthly updates.
To help reduce costs, we would like members to subscribe to this Service. The email attachment will be identical to the book that team Captains/Secretaries have previously received by post, and will be available to all league members, not just Captains/Secretaries.
We fully understand that not everyone has access to the internet and email, so for those few teams the book will still be available by post.
Apart from the cost reduction, other advantages will be that the book will be available just a few days after the monthly league meeting, rather than the 11 days it now takes. Any mistakes that arise can be instantly corrected by sending a revised book. Any other information can be easily sent, eg, reminders of important dates such as league meetings and AGM's.
To add your name to the Service, simply send an email to bristolpoolleague(at)btinternet.com
Please include the word Pool in the subject line, and in the message box leave your name, team name(s), and whether you are Captain or Secretary of your team, or that you are just a playing member of your team(s). You will receive an email shortly after to confirm your inclusion in the Service.
Let’s keep the spirit of the game fair, fun, and competitive. Respect the rules, respect your opponents.
BPL COMMITTEE.
