Llangollen Shield / Kearsley Cup
The next Junior Promotion Examination will be
held at Middleton Recreation Centre. Due to the
holiday period, the date has been changed.
Please ensure that all your members have been
made aware of this.
This event had to be cancelled due to the very
poor entry. A number of entries did arrive well
after the closing date but still not enough to
stage the event. This championship is one of the
oldest annual events in the BJA calendar and the
North West Area are committed to ensuring that it
continues long into the future. It is obvious
though that in recent years the event has
struggled to attract sufficient entries from
North West based clubs. It was felt therefore to
update the format and open the event to other BJA
areas. We hope to stage this event later this
year, probably on Sunday 8th November. There are
66 BJA registered clubs in the North West area.
As clubs, we need your support in two ways.
Firstly, if you have any constructive ideas or
comments in how we can improve the format, we
would like to hear them. A meeting is being
arranged in July of the North West Area Committee
at which the future of this event will be
discussed. Secondly, we need your active support
by entering teams in the event making sure we
receive them before or by the closing date. We
look forward to you comments. Please send your
Comments to Mr Mark Walsh. Area Events
