Re: Countdown in the North-East (CO:NE) - Saturday 14th May 2022

A little thing I forgot to mention… The Windsor Hotel, where the event is taking place, have kindly offered us discounted room rates of £50 per night for the Friday and Saturday nights.👍👍👍 To get this room rate though, you must ring up the hotel directly and mention that you’ll be taking part in the...

Admittedly mainly cos her opponent just collapsed and missed many match darts, but she put up a great performance against MvG in the final!!

Re: CO:LON - 9 April 2022

Given the huge interest in this event, we've contacted the venue and have switched to a larger space - so the event will now be in the Common Room rather than the Main Hall. This should allow us to accommodate 90 players comfortably! Seems weird that the “Main” Hall has a smaller capacity than the ...

Re: "Black Takeover Day" - Autumn 2021

Just been announced that the legendary newsreader Sir Trevor McDonald will be the host for the “Black To Front Day”, as it has now been referred to. Certainly a fantastic choice in my opinion.👏👏👏 https://twitter.com/tvukzone/status/141 ... 91586?s=21

Unlikely, Jack Worsley was in the champion’s chair on Nick’s debut… (definitely no need for him to say it then…)

Re: First impressions of Anne

Never seen a show before that has opening credits. Did you mean opening titles? Not easy to get things done when most people work from home in a pandemic on a £200 HP laptop. Still... You need to watch more dramas!! Plenty of those have opening credits interspersed with opening titles!👍👍👍 That coul...

Re: First impressions of Anne

Definitely a decent start, very apprehensive of her appointment, but she has shown that she seems to be more aware of where she is in the game than Nick ever was!!😛😛 Definitely liked to take a “back seat” as it were and let everyone else shine. Had to include the wink at the end, didn’t she!!??😉😉 Sh...

Round 15: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? John buzzes on 27.75 seconds to say PROCURING which is correct. (this buzz time comes from Ray Wilding, not the subs) Final Score: 63–60 (max 120, jos 117) Surely, the scramble was CURRIPONG, if it wasn’t, then you can nick that the next time PROCURING is used as a conun...
