Grand Prix Secretary Report 2008 - 2009    -   Geoff Gammon

 

After the bumper season of last year it was inevitable that the only way was down and this was indeed the case. With the number of participating events down by 25% the contributions from those events is correspondingly lower and totals £274.00. I have been able to supplement this from the small reserves in the a/c and the Prize Fund stands at £ 300.00 which I believe is a realistic amount to support 14 prizes.

 

Nine events subscribed to the Grand Prix this year and of those four were League based and five were Club based and my thanks to the organizers, both for running the events and for including them in the Grand Prix.

 

Over the year 110 League members from 20 clubs and schools (this is up from 18 in 07/08) competed in the nine events on 258 occasions scoring a total of 4,563 Grand Prix points. Seven players scored 100 points or more.

          Open                     1st      Dominic Bennett              Clifton                   £40.00

                                      2nd     Ed Varley                       Downend               £20.00

The format will change in the 2009-2010 season with specific grading bands replacing the present more general section headings. These bands will be amended appropriately when the new gradings become active.
