NEW DESIGNMonday, Sep 24, 2007As you can see, the Regnum website has had a makeover. You can now access this site at www.regnumdarts.co.uk. Thank you, Dave Lee
E-MAIL PROBLEMSTuesday, Sep 11, 2007I have been unable to retrieve my e-mails since last Saturday, I have set up a new one and so if you have e-mailed me since last friday please resend them to my new one. Thank You. Club membership can be paid for on the first monday of the new season.
PLAYER MEETING DETAILSThursday, Aug 23, 2007The player meeting was held and thank you to all those present. There were a couple of ideas put forward and voted on. These were to change the format from playing all 10 legs to playing a best of ten match with two points for a win and one for a draw. There was a vote taken and it was a unanimous decision to keep the format unchanged with one point awarded for each leg won. The other vote was to decide on the number to be relegated and promoted, it was decided to go for 4 up and 4 down. The Regnum Club is a private members club and all players are required to become at least a "social member". This costs 10 pounds for a years membership. Please see the club steward Steve Tapner for an application form before the season begins. The 2 pounds a week match fees will continue, this is paid on a play and pay basis. There will be two extra competitions this season. Divisional Cup KO's as well as the League Players KO. The season will begin on Monday October 1st, the fixtures for the new season are now complete and on the stats page, or the stats site www.rpdl.leaguerepublic.com. Thank you
PLAYER MEETINGWednesday, Aug 8, 2007There will be a player meeting next Monday (13th August) at 8pm at the Regnum Club. Please try to attend as there will be, I am sure, decisions to be made on the coming season. If needed there will be voting done on matters arising. I look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible. Thank You
DIVISION 2 UPDATETuesday, July 31, 2007In the previous "blog" I made a mistake. Simon Wood is now included in the division, this means at the moment there are 21 players. Peter Mainhardt has been in touch but unfortunately too late to be in the 21..Peter is now first reserve in case of any withdrawals. I have entered the names into the stats site www.rpdl.leaguerepublic.com and am awaiting confirmation of players playing before setting up the fixtures..too see the names there are drop-down menus next to SEASON and DIVISION, click on WINTER2007 and REGNUM2. Please can any players deciding to withdraw let me know ASAP..thank you Dave
DIV 2 PLAYERSSaturday, July 28, 2007I now have the 20 players required for the second division in 2007/08. These players are (in no particular order) : Alan Price; Steve Tapner; Holly Jones; Hayley Gatford; Shaun Bartlett; Rob Tite; Steve Aizlewood; Mike Rooke; Terry Humphreys; James Wagg; Simon Casey-Rodgers; Lewis Kalli; Adey Nicholls; Mazz Tupper; Paul Woolfenden; Peter Mitchell; Derek Mitchell; Karen West; Ian Hackett and Mick Dunn. Welcome to you all. On reserve (in case of any withdrawals) is Simon Wood. Reserves will be asked on a first come first served (ie. in the order that they are shown here) basis to participate should a player withdraw. In the coming few days I will be adjusting the stats site accordingly. Should any of the above players wish to withdraw from the league please let me know asap. Thank you. I will also now confirm with the regnum a date for a player meeting to go through the basics of the league, and for any matters arising from last season. For those of you that don't know, although I run the league and websites I am not in overall control of it and league decisions will be made by the players, so it is in your interests to attend the meetings when they are held. If a vote is needed for any matter then the majority will be the deciding factor. Thank you all for applying to join and I hope that another great season will be enjoyed by all.
CUT OFF DATE IS NEARLY HEREWednesday, July 18, 2007The cut off date for entry into the 2007/08 season is not far off (July 31st), and at the moment I have 16 new players. Only four spaces left to be playing in Division 2. The 16 are : Steve Aizlewood ; Shaun Bartlett ; Simon Casey-Rodgers ; Hayley Gatford ; Terry Humphreys ; Holly Jones ; Lewis Kalli ; Peter Mitchell ; Adey Nicholls ; Alan Price ; Mike Rooke ; Steve Tapner ; Rob Tite ; Mazz Tupper ; James Wagg and Paul Wolfenden. The next four entrants are garuanteed a place and then players will be on reserve in case of any player pulling out.
BRISTOW & LOWE IN LITTLEHAMPTONWednesday, July 18, 2007Eric Bristow and John Lowe are coming to Littlehampton in August. If you fancy meeting and playing against two of the biggest names in darts just click on the Littlehampton Darts link on this site and then click on the photo of Lowe and Bristow to get details.
WELCOME TO ALL NEW PLAYERSThursday, July 5, 2007At the moment I have 13 new players for the 2007/08 season, the names will be published and added to the stats site after the cut off date for entry which is July 31st. A quick reminder to all that if less than 15 players are registered before that date then the first division will be extended to include all. There is now a new maximum for division two 20 players, this is due to Jon Stadius joining the police force and due to commitments and future placement (as yet undecided) has decided to withdraw from the league. We wish Jon all the best in his new career and hope that he will continue to follow the league and let us know how he is doing via the site guestbook. With regards to this website I am in the process of setting up a new site which will have our own domain and more space for more features. The stats site will remain at www.rpdl.leaguerepublic.com. As you may have noticed there is not a lot of music on the site now this is due to not a lot of uploading space, and I wanted to show you all the new logo on the homepage (thanks to Ian Hackett for the design). I hope we will be able to put a representative team into the Sussex Inter-League KO. E-mails have gone out and please let other players who are not on e-mail know of this event. Once I have details of the team to play I can make arrangements for car sharing etc. Please e-mail or call, or leave a message here in the guestbook if you are able to play. Thank you.
A FUTURE STAR OF THE LEAGUE IS BORNThursday, July 5, 2007Many congratulations go to Pat and Julie O'Hara on the birth of their son Cameron. Cameron came into the world on Saturday June 30th at 8.07pm and weighed in at 5lb 15oz. We look forward to seeing Cameron at the oche in years to come, and we wish all the family love, health and happiness. CUT OFF DATEWednesday, June 20, 2007In order to give myself a good chance of getting everything set up in time, I have decided that July 31st will be the last day for entry into the 2007/08 season. If less than 15 new players are commited by that date then there will be only one division and therefore a longer season and more legs for you all. Any players expressing an interest after July 31st will be on a reserve list (as with last season on a first come basis) in case of any players dropping out. If 15 and up to 21 players then a second division will be put into effect, as I have said before entry will be on a first come-first served basis, any more than 21 will be on reserve in case of players dropping out. A player meeting to be held on Monday August 13th at the Regnum (date to be confirmed). Please let all interested players know. Thank you
A NEW SEASON...NEW PLAYERSMonday, Apr 16, 2007There has been a lot of interest by new players wishing to join the league. So a second division looks on the cards. As yet I have heard of none of the original 21 players wishing to withdraw, so any new players will play in division 2. As with last season entry will be on a first come first served basis, and as there will be 21 in div 1, I will look for 21 players in div 2. Any extra will be put on reserve (again on a first come first served basis) in case of any withdrawals. There will be a player meeting in June or July (date as yet undecided) for all players to attend (new included) to air any views on the format or set up. If neccessary a vote by the players will decide on any changes, so it is in your interests to attend. I shall be playing in the stardarts and superleague (work permitting) as well as at the snooker club comps, so if you are definately interested please let me know asap. At this moment in time I have four definates. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you.
What a fantastic nightTuesday, Mar 20, 2007I hope that you all enjoyed the presentation night, I was hoping for a great night and so it turned out with a brilliant surprise, a birthday boy, a funpacked blind pairs ko and raising a decent amount of money for charity. The surprise (and was it a surprise) was the appearance of Andy "Rocky" Jenkins, who not only presented the trophies but also showed what a great bloke he is by playing in the blind pairs. My grateful thanks go to Alan, Wolfie, Mick, Coxy, Dunner in fact everyone who helped with the surprise and somehow managed to keep it a secret from me. I hope that everyone likes the trophies they were awarded, my two, I know, will be proudly on display ahead of all my others. The birthday boy, Dunner, now 42, was presented with a special dartboard cake (three candles - 20,20,double 1) and thanks for that go to Julie O'Hara. I hope you enjoyed your evening Paul. I know he was terrified when the cry went up "speech, speech". Onto the blind pairs and I guess that everyone was hoping to be drawn with Rocky (I know I was) and Chris G was the lucky one. Thank you to everyone who participated and paid their "at least a pound" entry money. I am very pleased to say that 75 pound was raised through entry and I know that there was a lot less than 75 people entered, Andy Jenkins then said that he would double the money to 150 pounds, and before I could announce this Hayley Gatford had given me a fiver to make it 80, so in all 155 pounds was raised to go to the winners charity of their choice. The final was brilliant with Keith R and Dunner taking on Andy J and Chris G, some great exhibition darts from Andy and some great fun moments provided by all four. Keith and Dunner won the final 3-2 and they have asked for the money to go Cancer Research, which I will do with the greatest of pleasure. Thank you all once again for a brilliant night of fundraising, we were only a small group but we did great. I have a load of thank you's to say...and I would like to start with thanking the players. This was an idea as you know brought about by a meeting between myself and Dunner, it has been hard work setting it all up and I will come to those people who have helped in bit, but if it wasn't for the players taking a chance on a new league and maybe losing friends in the process this could not have happened. There have been others who have helped me in setting it all up and my thanks go to Steve Tapner and the Regnum Club for giving us a fantastic base and facilities, Alan "fluff" Price for his assistance in setting it up and for coming along every week to help out with chalking & scoring, Mazz Tupper who drew out the match order every week and also helped with chalking the extra matches, Coxy's wife Hazel who made up the "footie, golf and sporting " fundraising cards, the dart WAGs who have been supporting week in, week out, Pauline Dunn who organised with her friends Gill and Graham Bevis our excellent shirts and last but not least Wolfie who in his own words said to me " this is the future of darts not just on tv but in the provincial areas of the sport, the sport is getting bigger and players will get better by playing in this kind of format' and to that end he very kindly made a donation to the league. I believe that he is right and I believe that everyones darts have improved over the course of this season, from Mario to Mick. Mario and Mike F have, I believe, been the stars of the season, every week they have played got beaten (sometimes 0-10) and the next week they have come back to play again and try to improve their game. This is why there is no wooden spoon, but a trophy saying 21st place, they have worked hard at their game and I for one am extremely proud of them, as I am of all of you. Thank you once again to all of you. I shall be letting you all know when the league AGM will be. Please attend with your ideas and comments for next season. As I have said from the start this is a league for players and the decisions will come from the players. I just hope that I can get the photos on here soon. Cheers for now... Dave |
