Langley A Withdraws

Author: Ric, July 13th, 2010

The Langley A have withdrawn from the league for this summer, which means that fixtures against them are now “byes”.

That means that two teams each week will have byes – which is a little silly. So I’ll rework the fixtures so that all teams are playing each week. I’m afraid that means I’ll have to send out a completely new fixture list – but it’s the only way I can make sure we all get a fair number of home and away games.

I can also confirm that the Holbury B team has not withdrawn, and will play matches throughout the season.

The fixtures for the Summer 2010 pool season are now available, and will be posted tomorrow (Tuesday 29 June).

We kick off this Thursday with the first round of the Preston Shield:

  • Malt v New Inn
  • Hampshire Yeoman v Holbury B
  • Holbury A v Langley B
  • Roebuck v Jolly Sailor
  • Byes: Langley A, Legion, Testwood

It’s a “first to five frames wins” format, as usual.

The league matches start the following week, Thursday 8 July:

  • Hampshire Yeoman v New Inn
  • Holbury B v Langley A
  • Langley B v Holbury A
  • Malt v Legion

Adding Comments to Posts

Author: Ric, October 30th, 2009

This new website design incorporates the ability for people to post comments – and I’d welcome the input of anyone in the league. Just a few things to note:

  • You don’t have to register, or be signed-in, to post a comment – however, if you’re not signed-in then your comment will have to be approved by a moderator before it goes up on the website
  • You are welcome to register – once you do this, the first post you write will have to be approved by a moderator – but after that your comments will go live immeditately

When you register:

  • Choose your username/login and enter your email address
  • You’ll be emailed with an initial password
  • Log in and edit your account to change your password (believe me, you’ll want to!)
  • At this stage, please enter your proper name, and use the “Website” field to state which team you play for
  • We reserve the right to deactivate accounts that don’t have your proper name and team

When you post:

  • Please be civil and constructive
  • If you have a grievance with another player, team or me (surely not!) this is not the place to raise it – use the contact form on the website to drop me a line
  • Any posts that the moderators deem unacceptable will be deleted  immediately… this is a website, not a democracy ;o)

Please note:

  • Please be civil
  • We will delete posts and/or deactivate accounts of people who post abuse
  • Really, please be civil
  • If people start abusing the privilege of posting comments, we will withdraw this function
  • Did I mention “please be civil”?

As always, I’m really happy to receive comments, ideas and suggestions – you can use the “Contact Us” form to drop me a line.

New Website Design

Author: Ric, October 26th, 2009

You can’t help but notice that the website has had a radical overhaul! I’ve converted the site so that it runs on WordPress, which should mean that I can add new features and maintain the site more easily.

However, it also means that in the short term I’ll be playing around with it quite a bit. Please bear with me – but be assured I’ll keep the league table and fixtures list updated all the time, so you should always be able to refer to them on here.
