News - Exeter Sports Club Darts League
What an opportunity to make money . . .

We need your cash, buy more tickets!
Here’s everyone’s chance to win a cash prize and help the league into the bargain. We are running our ever-popular Finals Night Rolling Draw again this season and it's going well with players queuing up to part with their cash when Ross Goyne (mug shot left) gets his tickets out in the second division. If you play or support in the first division Tony Grabham reports he's having a tougher time getting players to cough up a few quid.
Please support the league and buy loads of tickets – after all you can’t lose, if you win one of the prizes you could even buy your team-mates a beer and if you don’t win any profit goes 100% back into keeping team subs down – bargain.

Your New Look Committee

Committee changes
WE have had to re-organise the committee following the league secretary/treasurer’s recent resignation. Roger Yeats has been co-opted on to the committee and has kindly agreed to take over the role of treasurer and Alan Whitehead (Croc, pictured left) has agreed to take over the role of Secretary. I'm sure that everyone will want to thank them both for stepping in halfway through the season. Below is the up-to-date committee (16-12-11) and the roles they now undertake.


If anyone has any queries about the league they can talk to any of the committee who will do their best to sort them out. Of course if any of our team members would like to join us please again talk to any of the below.

 

President: Iain Sweeny (South A)

Chair and Web Editor: Tony Grabham (Legion B)

Vice Chairman: Micky Finn (Wonford)

League Secretary: Alan Whitehead (West D)

Fixtures Secretary: Ross Goyne (West D)

Treasurer: Roger Yeats (Social A)

George Sterry (Labour D)

Phil Reed (West B)

A couple of points to note . . . .

Ross and Croc need your help,
please print players' names on result card 

We’re into match week seven next week and it’s going well . . . apart from we’ve had problems reading the names on the result cards. As everyone knows captains are required to ensure that players’ names are printed above the signature. Again we all know what happens, the captain decides who is going on next and hands the card to the player who scribbles down his name then adds his signature and poor old Ross and Croc end up searching through team sheets to identify the player by signature and then sometimes after a few pints the signature on the card doesn't resemble the one on the sheet.

The way round this, as many captains are doing, is for the captain to print the player’s firstname and surname on the card before handing the card to the player for signing. If you could all do this it would save Ross and Croc a load of work.
