    Stick me down for a £50 sponsor again please Graham, cheers. Split the normal way (1,2,3,4 I think?)

    I will also pledge an extra £5 for every Mini FT I make this year. I will let you know if I manage to fluke any though.

    Now the Bounty Hunter Champion series has ended, it looks as if we are back to normal regarding the Tournament Wins points.

    Namely:

    Main         = 10pts
    Mini          = 7pts
    Sherriff     = 2pts
    Quickdraw = 1pts

    GL all!

    Cheers,

    Just to confirm, on Tuesday's the 9pm £110 Summit BH will replace the 9pm Sherriff BH and will also be worth two points.

    Today is the last day for new competitors to join.

    GL all!

    Well the deadline has now passed, so we have our final 15 competitors.

    With some big names not renewing this year it could be wide open, so there is all to play for.

    My sincere thanks to those who have renewed, without your continued support, sustaining these charity initiatives would not be possible. We really do have a great bunch of lads (and lass) as competitors this year.

    Due to some natural attrition, we do rely on new blood coming in each year, and I am am so pleased to be able to welcome three new players for 2017.

    Namely: ESSEXPHIL, OMM and LANGTON10.

    I also want to pass my sincere thanks to aussie09 who year after year of diligent effort and supreme IT skill, he has assisted us with the Tournament Wins leaderboard below:


    Last but by no means least, thank you to all those who have sponsered us over the years.

    You guys really are the unsung heros of the initiative, giving open-handedly with nothing to gain for yourselves. The likes of Snuffer, DarkAngel7, IrishRose, asmithx, radiofed28, scouse_red, GELDY and MAXALLY to name but a few of our loyal supporters.

    I would also like to thanks the likes of TK, Neil Channing, Ian Simpson, Ryan Spittles and Rich Orford for all their support. 

    I know there has been a lot of change, and the dissapointment of losing the Sky Poker Channel is felt by all, but especially these guys, who were great on the show and a real credit to the game.

    We have set ourself some tough targets after the success of the last two years, so it will be interesting to see how we fare this year.

    As always, please post on here if you would like to sponsor us.

    Thanks again to all involved (past and present)

    All the best, on and off the tables for 2017!

    Cheers,

    G

    P.S. You can see the total raised and which charities benefited in 2016 on the link below:


    Many thanks!

    Hi Graham, I do not play enough of the tourneys concerned to take part but would be happy to pledge £20 too. Just let me know when this is due and where to send it. Thanks

    That's great, thanks markycash.

    I won't collect any sponsor money until January 2018.

    I will provide all the details nearer that time.

    Thanks again and all the best for 2017!

    I will also run a heads up comp in March/April, for competitors and sponsors. There is a fully engraved trophy up for grabs, and you would be more than welcome to join that if you wish.

    Cheers,

    G

    Had a great day out (albeit a cold one) with MonkeyGLB and IrishRose and their friends at Kempton Racecourse.

    Click on the link below to see them receiving their trophies:


    I will be starting this year's TLB2017 Heads Up comp in April (max 32 runners)

    First come first served.

    If you are a TLB2017 competitor or have already sponsored us, no further pledge is required, but please do post here if you want to play in the heads up comp.

    Special shout out to the ladies out there, there is also a ladies last longer trophy up for grabs, this was won by IrishRose last year who made it all the way to the semi-final, knocking yours truly out in the first round.

    If you haven't sponsored us for 2017 as yet, please post your pledge and desire to play in the heads up comp here.

    All the best and thanks again for your support!

    Cheers,

    I have just spoken with Ian Simpson and man of the moment Chris (rspca12) Cunliffe and they are both in, I also assume MonkeyGLB and IrishRose will be defending their titles, so including me, we have five so far.

    Cold was an understatement, however it was a fun day (even though I lost nearly every race!!)

    Trophy has taken pride and place in the "Man Cave" and of course, I will be defending my title. AJ Milton, you have been warned !!!

    Thanks to Graham for running this again for another year and I am honoured to be participating again for 2017.

    Yeh, sorry it wasn't a winning day for you on the horses. I hope you didn't lose too much.

    I did try to point you in the right direction with my email, where I picked 4 winners from the first 6 races including a 10/1 shot in the first. (Admittedly the 4th winner was an odds on shot in a two runner race :=))

    But seriously, thanks again for your support and enthusiasm Gary, it's great to have you involved.

    Cheers,
