The Hero Wins Dulwich Area Masters 2013
Dress: Mormons v Rastafarians
Men,
Last Saturday (7th Nov) marked the 87th anniversary of the coronation of
His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie as Emperor of Ethiopia – hear me now!
Yesterday also marks the 180th anniversary of the Latter Day Saints fleeing across the Missouri
river – praise brother!
What
better way to celebrate this than a joint darts tournament – DAM XI – Mormons v Rastafarians.
Details
Date: 9th November 2013
Time: 5pm start
(be there for 4:30 to avoid The Captain!)
Theme: Mormons v Rastafarians (it’s fine to black-up in Peckham)
Venue:
The Peckham Liberal Club (£50 charge shared amongst us) - http://www.useyourlocal.com/pubs/london/southwark/peckham-liberal-club/q/ref-98394/
The rules: http://www.lardydarts.com/rules.aspx
Scoring – I’m afraid LISA MKII is not yet available
Jamie and I checked out the venue last night.
An idea of what it is like can be gauged by the spelling, grammar and AOB on the attached minutes from their
latest AGM. Heating does not come on for another 2 weeks so dress appropriately. They sell Captain Morgan
and have more in the store room. Food is not available, an abundance of Formica and nicotine stains walls
are.
Remember that your
outfit denotes your first round grouping. Group with the least players chooses from the other group to
join them. Choose wisely.
We
only have 7 confirmed (with Jo coming along a bit later) but never fear we have the perfect format for it.
Format
Round 1: 2 groups of 3 and 4. Top two go through
Play off: 3 losing first rounders (+ Jo) play off. Top 2 go through
Semi: 2 groups of 3. Top 2 go through
Final:
4 man smack down – winner takes all.
