Whatever happened to....the South East scene?

[Skeet]

I wonder (I dont really but I'll say I do) if its anything to do with the fact that the site owners also had a vested interest in playing tournaments

Doug Setters ran the two main sites we used to play at, then cam Phil Ham up on the wet and windy hill.

I know Phil Ham is looking to start running events shortly.

Casting our minds back two seasons, the NSPL was running events in the South East as well as the Reading venue and the South West. We did this for three years, utilising the D7s and Purerush sites.

Last year was a difficult one with all the tournaments running in the South and other factors contributing to lower team numbers at Southern tournaments. We've ridden that hardship out, but it will take a little time to restore the league's balance again and this must be done baring in mind the remit laid down by the Federation to us event organisers.

I look forward to talking to Pete and the other guys in the Federation about this tomorrow, and the lack of proper South East coverage is not an issue being ignored by the NSPL, I promise you.

Well, we can't ask for better than that guys; I doubt there's any of you guys out there who aren't aware that Chris has been running events for a long time now and was chosen by the new federation to run events because we trusted him to do a good job.

I think Chris has for a long time been acutely aware of the problem we face in the south east region and he now has the necessary support to attack this problem and give the south what he has always wanted.
And that is a professional league series, professionally ran, well represented in terms of regions within the south and also well represented in terms of team attendance and vendors.
It will take time as Chris suggests and we will support him in any we can.

What have I done now??? .

Not you Raff, not you ........ he dwells in a hovel in Kingston, with no real friends, no real life, and waiting for Damocles's sword to fall.

He sits at his desk, from Monday to Friday trying everything he can to fcuk me over, undermine or malign me .... he has failed miserably at every attempt and this is because he amounts to nothing important, he never has done; and when he's gone from this industry, nobody will either miss or remember him, a fitting tribute to one so insignificant.
