Legion closure means Bognor darts aces are on move

It has been the leagues’ competition venue for the past few years and has served them well.

The committee has looked at many possibile new venues, and after lots of talking have decided one venue meets their needs - Newtown Social Club.

It is central for many teams, has enough room to take all the players who have been taking part in recent years, and can also help the committee with storing free-standing dart boards.

They hope to stay with them for many years.

However the first Friday League knockout takes place on November 23 and can’t be held at Newtown SC because of prior bookings for that date.

Rearranging of knockouts has been done and Aldwick British Legion will help fill the gap. They have shown interest recently by entering a team on Tuesdays, and now one of the Bognor Legion teams is moving there.

All Tuesday Double-In League knockouts will now be at Newtown SC.

The Friday Benevolent League knockouts have been moved around slightly, so check out the updated fixture list at www.bognor-darts.co.uk

The committee thanked all the venues they have talked to.
