Season 2025/2026
 
It's that time of year again !
            The Committee have met for the first time since the AGM and are starting to put the plans together for the new season.  We are pleased to announce that we have retained all ten teams from last season across the same eight alleys.  It's important that we continue to support these venues in our efforts to maintain the traditional pub pastimes that have struggled to remain relevant over recent years.
            With a number of teams voicing concern over player availability in the month of September, we have delayed the date of the first League match until the first week of October.  There are, however, two matches scheduled for the 26th September as part of the Porter Cup Preliminary Round.  Details of these games can be found below.
            The full calendar and fixture list are available on the website and can be shared with the relevant landlords and stewards in order to try and ensure alley availability through to Christmas and beyond.  As always, if you have any issue with an alley being unavailable on a particular date, please let me know asap and we will endeavour to find you an alternative venue.  It is hoped that the official Fixture Book will be available to circulate before the end of August.
            Please enjoy what is sure to be another competitive season and I look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Charity Collection Boxes
            Ahead of the new season, can I take this opportunity to remind everyone of the League's continued commitment to provide annual charitable donations to the LOROS organisation. Our donations to the cause continue to be much appreciated and last year's commitment brought the cumulative total donations from the League over recent years to around £15,000.
            We are in the process of designing new labelling for the boxes to remind everyone of what we do and why we do it. Your support reflects well on the League and we should rightly feel proud of our continued contribution.  The new labels will hopefully be available alongside the new Fixture Book.  Anyone not in possession of a box can contact a member of the Committee to arrange delivery.
