    Hi Ian

    Sorry 6pm is unlikely to work for me on a school night.   Happy to play late on Sunday 2nd depending on how your other games are going.  I'll come and find you if you're on sky and ask!  I'm playing tonight also, so same applies.

    If you get any other windows 7pm onwards before then please give me a shout and we can try and sort.

    Cheers

    Thanks very much to Ian for a very enjoyable game.  We managed to fall short of  AJ's 1hr40 match by around 1hr20, but it was fun.

    Anyhow, with a large dollop of luck and a truckload of Angel Dust, I managed to sneak it 3-1.


    Cheers

    Matt

    Hi Gary. I spoke with FeelGroggy yesterday. He's in Manchester playing live until Sunday.

    I am sure he'll post his availability upon his return.

    GL to you both.

    Cheers,

    Hi all.

    As I am sure most of you know the monies pledged by sponsors, unless a specific charity is specified, goes into the prize pool for the charities of the top 4 players of the 2016 TLB comp.

    However it was suggested to me that some monetary award should go to the charities of the winner and runner up of the heads up comp.

    So I posted a while back on this thread that I was planning to take £320 out of either the TLB or Tournament Wins prize pool and allocate £200 of it to the charity of the heads up comp winner and £120 to the runner up's charity.

    I said I would do this if there were no objections. No one has objected so far, so please do so now if anyone is not happy with this. If not, I'll assume this is all OK.

    We have the following 5 players and their chosen charities left.

    FeelGroggy - Career's Trust
    MonkeyGLB - Chestnut Tree House
    mattprawn - NSPCC
    IrishRose   - TBD
    ajmilton     - TBD

    AJ and Rose, could you please post your chosen charity? It can be one already chosen by one of the TLB competitors, or indeed any charity of your choice. The semi-finalists just need to win one more match to ensure at least £120 goes to their chosen charity.

    GL to all 5 of you!

    Cheers,

    I love the "just need to win one more match" lol.

    I doubt I'll get much further in this - but on the off chance that I do can I please ask for a local hospice to be my charity?  It's a hospice for terminally ill people and it's where my mum received fantastic care in the last 8 weeks of her life before she died of cancer.  It's a completely free hospice - and relies heavily on donations etc.


    If local charities are not allowed then please can I ask for MacMillan Cancer instead?

    Hi Rose

    It's absolutely fine to have a local charity. http://www.royaltrinityhospice.london it is!

    I know they do some wonderful work in these places, and it would be great if we can make a donation to a charity that helped your Mum so much.

    Best of luck for the semi-final

    Cheers,

    G

    Hi Graham, I forgot about the extra prize fund, very generous of you.
    If possible, and if i'm lucky enough to get to the final.
    I would like the prize fund to go to Macmillan


    Hope the link works

    Max ball (ballboy) as completed 12 challenges in support of Macmillan
    during 2016, in support of his father Steve Ball (ice_tiger) 
    who is continuing his battle against cancer.
    Absolutely great achievement by Max, so would be great to get extra money 
    for his efforts.

    Regards Alan

    Hi AJ.

    MacMillan is a great charity. In fact, it is the charity that I am representing this year in the TLB comp.

    Regarding the "extra" prize fund for the heads up comp, this is coming out of the donations from all the competitors and sponsors, like yourself.

    So it is yours and their generosity, not mine, that is providing the prize pool for the heads up comp.

    I join you, and many others I'm sure, in wishing ice_tiger, ballboy and their family, all the best in this difficult time. It looks like Max has done an outstanding job with the 12 challenges! I will endeavour to raise as much as possible for MacMillan this year, via the TLB and Tournament Wins comp.

    Thanks again for your support AJ!

    Cheers,

    G
