Dear Team Secretary,
I write to inform you of the forthcoming 2007/08 Presentation Dance Night which will be held on Saturday 26th July, 2008 (from 7.30pm) at :-
RILEYS PURLEY WAY, 31 IMPERIAL WAY, CROYDON, CRO 4RR
We would like to bring to your attention that the evening is for the benefit of all League Members whether or not they have trophies to collect as the presentations form only a small part of the evening's entertainment. It has always been intended for the evening to be an "END OF SEASON PARTY NIGHT" but unfortunately it seems that it has interpreted in the past for Trophy Winners and Runners-Up only and this is definately not the case. EVERYBODY AND THEIR GUESTS ARE WELCOME.
ANY TROPHIES THAT GO UNCOLLECTED WILL BE DONATED TO WORTHY CAUSES!
Yours in sport,
MARK HALSEY
League Secretary |

Is it true that the Singles Final will be played at the presentation. If so it would make for an even better night and why has it not been advertised as such.

Always have a plan 'B'
Even plan 'B' has failed |

It was mentioned in the schedule for the matches
Could perhaps make it a bit more apparent in the league paper work during the summer?

Thought I'd bump this puppy back to the top seeing as though it is this Saturday.
Trophy Presentation for the Winter League @ Suzy's.
I'm sure a lot of people will have forgotton, so make sure you dig them out over the next couple of days and get them up there.
This weeks presentation will also see a ground breaking first for our league, the Single Final will be played as a curtain raiser.
Danny Evans (The Eagles) vs. Mark Miller (Propeller)
Best of 7 I think, but don't quote me.
This has been done in other leagues around the County for years, and the general feedback is that having Presentation night on "Finals" night is very successful, so let's see how it goes.
It should at the very least ensure a healthy turnout for the first time in a while. |

The one week I'm not around and its the weekend of the presentation night...screwing. I'm sure it will be a good night with the added bonus of the singles final. Good luck to Mr Evans and Mr Miller... |

In a break with tradition the winners will receive personalised trophies which will be presented at the CDPL Presentation Night in July.
Everyone else said having a trophy with their name on and having it presented made it a bit more special.
Wow - I actually get a trophy this year!

A very good evening. Well done to Danny on winning the singles final. A big well done to all the trophy winners especially all of the Farley teams. Well done to all of the organizers for making it a really good evening. The highlight had to be seeing Paul Saxton's chicken dance. Excellent!!!!!

Mark Hartley-Miller played the better pool on Saturday night and was unfortunate to have not been 2 or even maybe 3-0 up, but quite obviously in my case I was so happy for Danny to win in his last chance to claim the Croydon singles title and to share the No1 ranked player title.
I know for a fact he was very nervous because it meant so much for him.
Well done fella, although I can't rib you anymore about there having only been one 'D Evans' with their name on a Croydon singles winning trophy! 
I'm so glad the final was received well amongst both of the players involved and spectators alike. I'd been trying to convince the C&DPL committee back when I was one of them that the way forward is for the final to be played on Presentation Night so the players could gain the recognition they deserved for actually getting that far. The only thing now is to get the Presentation Night moved to within 3 weeks of the season ending. There seems to be no reason why this can't be done, as the trophies can be ordered WAY in advance of the season finishing, then the plaques can be appropriately engraved after the last game of the season; surely it wouldn't take an engraver more than 3 weeks to engrave a few hundred of them . . .
Maybe someone could propose and second this if they think it a good idea.

Couldn't agree more...
I think the presentation night would get a much highter attendance if it was held as an end of season party, I know it is supposed to be but we're half way through a season at the moment.
Still a top night though.
As happy as a single man living above a chip shop |

Agree too. It would be so much better to be recognising peoples' achievement at the time rather than months afterwards.
One other thing to mention was that the award made to Hot Shots on behalf of the league was spot on. I don't know who chose the award but the guys thought it was great so well done. |
