Can I suggest we re-name this Xmas Ryder Cup match as 'The Steve Ball(Ice_Tiger) Memorial Cup' in honour of the Great Man and fellow 'OWLS' fan, if that's OK with his family, and I would like to change my team's nominated Charity to Steve's son Max's Just Giving Charity Page (for MacMillan I believe).

That's a fab idea Misty - perhaps Darkangel could consider doing the same? I know she'd originally opted for the hospice my mum was looked after in - but I know my mum wouldn't mind at all xx
I need some more players from the South too, and just a gentle reminder to everyone that it is a Charity Match in honour of our dear friend Steve(Ice_Tiger) Ball, and players are donating £20 each to his son's Just Giving Charity page. I hope and trust everyone's OK with that.
If it's ok with you, rose and everyone else I would like to split mine between 2 charities that were close to Steve's family's hearts. The Charities are:
Hilbrae Rescue Centre where they adopted a very special little dog who's absolutely adorable called splashie and also Severn Hospice where they supported Steve and his family throughout Steve's illness.

Hi guys, sorry for lack of replies, I am away at the moment.
I've been so saddened to hear the news regarding Steve, and absolutely, yes we will rename the Xmas Ryder Cup in his memory.
Please pass on my condolances to Steve's family. He was clearly well loved by so many.
Perhaps we can start proceedings, as before, with a captains match (with the players on the rail) and have a moments silence (just sit out) for the first blind level of the first captain's game in Steve's memory.
Yes, I think the new charity choices are very appropriate here. I only really knew Steve as Ice_Tiger, but I'm sure he would like us to celebrate his life and all that he stood for. His sportsmanship was a real credit to him, and he was so caring and considerate to his poker friends and I am sure, to his family too.
It is with a heavy heart that this will be taking place without Steve, as it was his idea to have a rematch sooner, as he had so much enjoyed the trial run.
Following on from this, I am happy to run this with as many players as possible, we will find a way to ensure that everyone who wants to play, does indeed play.
So post here if interested. Unless there are any objections I propose 2nd January 2017 as the date, and that players will need to be fully available between 11am and 6pm.
If you are unsure whether you are North Or South, the clip here may help.

I will make sure I represent your Mum's hospice in the TLB2017 comp next year Rose, and I agree that it is most appropriate that, Misty and Dark represent the charities closest to Steve's family hearts, for this particular Comp. which will now be called:
'The Steve Ball(Ice_Tiger) Memorial "Ryder" Cup
Rest assured Rose, your Mum will not be forgotten, and I will do my best for her hospice next year.

Have had thenough blessing from Helen, Steve's wife for the name change. Here is what she said:
That's a nice gesture - Steve would be really honoured and proud xxx
So if you want to donate and play please don't be shy. It will be great fun with 2 Mad Captains at the helm. The Northern Steel Owls versus The south (name to be confirmed) lol

If you need some help with a name misty can I throw in....... Southern Ice Balls. The background on the teams colours also need to be swapped.
Someone out there from the clever department, could also design team emblems.
Maybe just southern Ice. Not an easy task searching for a name.Maybe best to draw up a short list as there's plenty of time.
Not been on the forum much over the last few days, so very sorry not to have added my condolences to Steve's friends and family. I did not really know Steve, but he was my doubles partner in the previous Ryder cup, so I will be honoured to represent his charities in the revival under his name.
I've blanked the day out in my diary, so look forward to the games.

Can you please ask on the tables for more players for the Northern team.
Hilbrae Rescue Centre where they adopted a very special little dog who's absolutely adorable called splashie and also Severn Hospice where they supported Steve and his family throughout Steve's illness.
