LDBSA 2025 AGM
Dear all, we are approaching a new season and are looking to have an AGM in mid August – date to be confirmed asap.
This year the AGM and EGM will be combined, so that means that all proposed rule changes will be voted on at the AGM.
So, if anybody has any proposed rule changes for the 2025/2026 season could you please send them privately to me by 31st July at the latest.
For each proposed rule change I need 3 things:
1) Current rule
2) Proposed rule
3) Reason for change
All proposed rule changes will be voted on at the AGM and if there is a majority in favour it will be added to the rules for next season.
Thanks.
LDBSA Committee Meeting
The next LDBSA Committee meeting will be held on Monday 28th April at the Kenilworth Abbey Club. The meeting starts at 7.45pm and all LDBSA members are welcome to attend.
Presentation Night – Saturday 31st May 2025. Kenilworth Sports & Social Club.
Dear all, we would like to try and do something a bit different for presentation night this year.
We have booked both Ken Doherty and Matthew Stevens for the night.
The plan is to play frames of doubles with Ken and Matthew each partnering a different LDBSA player for each frame.
There will be 8 frames on the night.
1 frame will be the 2025 Tony Marsh pairs champions playing against Ken and Matthew.
1 frame will be the 2025 Ray Carter singles champion playing against either Ken or Matthew.
Which leaves 6 frames of doubles and we need 12 LDBSA players to participate in these frames.
We agreed at the meeting on Monday that we would draw these players randomly with the following criteria.
1. There will be 6 players from the Premier Division and 6 players from the A Division.
2. There will be no more than one player from each LDBSA team.
3. If somebody is drawn out as one of the 12 players and then goes on to win the Tony Marsh pairs or Ray Carter singles competition then they will be removed from the 12 players chosen and the Committee will make changes at their discretion.
We plan on doing the draw for the 12 players at the next Committee meeting on the 28th April.
Please tell your teams and let people know that if they would like to be in the draw to play on the night to message me on email or WhatsApp. Please message me by the 25th of April otherwise I cannot guarantee you will be in the draw.

Presentation Night - Ticket Allocation
Dear all, I am sorting out the ticket allocation for Presentation night. It is on Saturday 31st May from 7pm at the Kenilworth Sports and Social Club.
We have booked Ken Doherty and Matthew Stevens for the night and they will be playing 8 frames of doubles and partnering LDBSA players.
Tickets are free of charge as this is what your subs pay for, however given that we have 233 people who have played league snooker this year and only capacity for 100-120 in the room then we have to restrict allocation somewhat.
Which means we should be able to allocate THREE tickets per team for Presentation night.
The 6 teams that have won trophies (Home Guard 1st, Lillington 2nd, Lillington 3rd, Lillington Oak, Nelson 1st and Warwick Cons 1st) have already been contacted by me – so for you guys please ignore this message.
For ALL of the remaining teams can you please contact me privately (WhatsApp, email or Facebook) and tell me the THREE players from your team who would like tickets for Presentation night.
Please make sure that the people who want tickets are free on the 31st May and are willing to attend.
Please let me know the THREE players from your team that would like tickets by Sunday 11th May or I will not be able to guarantee tickets for your team.
I will NOT be chasing teams / captains on this. If I do not hear from you I will assume that you do not want any tickets for the night.
Thanks.
Paul Petrie
