ENGLAND PLAYERS MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS

England Darts has been involved in an extensive review over several months of the opportunities we have to offer the dart players of our Country, and how to deliver these opportunities.

The Directors have taken on board the changing face of darts since 2019, and the implications of how these changes will affect the company and the resulting ability of the company to continue to deliver the services they have given to the sport, whilst remaining loyal to our core and historic membership, along with increasing our relevancy in the market place to all players, some of which are outside our natural base.

It became evident that decisions made elsewhere could impact on some of our players, and as such there was a serious concern that these same players who despite being lifelong supporters of England could find themselves unable to access the traditional benefits they have historically enjoyed, by no fault of their own, but due to decisions they were unaware of.

There were differing options open to us, one of which would be to follow every other darting body, that an across the board basic players membership fee be introduced.

England are unique as the only Country within the World Darts Federation or indeed the United Kingdom, that does not have a basic membership fee for every player, before they can compete at any event within their Countries systems and events.

England are mindful that players are now being asked memberships from numerous other organisations/private companies, and whilst it would seem to be the best option, England felt that the sport would suffer, as it becomes a matter of affordability rather than inclusion.

The restructuring of England Darts now includes membership opportunities for everyone to find the level of participation that suits individuals affordability and aspirations, along with keeping the company on a stable financial footing, and maintaining the historical opportunities in the sport that England Darts has always promoted.

After numerous consultations with the WDF benefits were identified to us in mid-February 2021, which then gave us the information enabling us to inform our member Counties.

2021 Six Nations Announcement

At a meeting this week of the Executives of the 6 Nations International Darts Championships, as a result of the ongoing health implications from the Covid 19 Virus and the continuing possibility of travel restriction still affecting the countries, it is in the best interest of our players welfare, that it is unrealistic to attempt to hold the event in June this year. Therefore the event will be cancelled for 2021, and re-scheduled in Scotland in 2022.

22nd January 2021

RIP Rick Cousins

Today England has received the devastating news that our friend and colleague Rick Cousins has passed away. Rick was a truly lovely guy, he was an integral and irreplaceable part of England Darts, one of the unsung heroes of our Organisation, who behind the scenes set up the venues with our small group, was available for all of the jobs that needed to be done during the duration of the events.

All this apart Vic, Greg, myself and the other Directors had so much fun and banter with Rick in the days of event preparation and shared lots of evenings together at the bar after the day's work had finished, sharing darts and family stories, just so much fun.

I know I speak for everyone in England Darts, this is one of the saddest days in the history of our Organisation, losing such a diamond of a person like Ricky Cousins.

We send our sincere condolences to his wife Sandra and all of their family and friends in the UK and Japan.

RIP Rhoda Harby

On behalf of England Darts we would like to send our condolences to the family of former England International, Rhoda Harby who sadly passed away on Monday.

Rhoda played twice for England, winning against Wales but losing against Scotland.

At the time Rhoda played for England she was playing her County darts for Hampshire, who she played for 147 times over a 25 year period. Rhoda also played for Avon and Dorset, without doubt there will be many of her friends that will be sad tonight but recalling many happy memories of their time with her.

RIP Rhoda.

2021 ISLE OF MAN FESTIVAL IS CANCELLED

We have been informed by the government of the Isle of Man that this year's Festival of Darts has been cancelled.

England Darts are naturally saddened by the news, but under the global circumstances it is unfortunately inevitable. The Public's health is and always will be the paramount objective and we very much look forward to meeting next year.

Meanwhile, Political member with responsibility for Visit Isle of Man and Motorsport, Rob Callister MHK, adds officials were unable to find a suitable date to reschedule the occasion for later in the year. He confirms it'll next to take place from the 10th -13th March 2022, with further details of this to be released at a later date.

6th January 2021

RIP Sam Hawkins

On behalf of England Darts we would like to send our condolences to Marie and the family and friends of our England National Darts President Sam Hawkins who sadly passed away earlier today.

Sam was the driving force behind England Darts being allowed to run its own affairs and along with Rod Harvey actually set up England Darts as a company in its own right, prior to its break with the BDO in 2008.

On a personal note I first met Sam in 1976, when he was part of the BDO select team who played the inaugural Inter-County Champions Lancashire in Blackpool, our friendship grew and his guidance and support when I was appointed England Team manager for the World Cup in Australia, then as we built up England darts over the intervening years was invaluable.

Sam was ever popular with everyone in darts, nothing was too much trouble for him, he put his heart and soul into promoting the BDO and England, a very lovely and genuine man, who will be missed by all in our sport, who had the honour of sharing time with him.

2021 England Youth Grand Prix

We were disappointed that the 2020 England Youth GP had to be cancelled due to the pandemic and there still has to be a doubt if we will be able to get back on the boards in the near future, but with the medical experts hopeful that a vaccine will be available our Youth Executive Dave Dudeney has been able to agree provisional dates for the 2021 GP. The dates are :

12th November 2020

RIP Alan Glazier

Everyone at England Darts is sad to learn that former England International, Alan Glazier passed away today.

Alan was a member of many of the early England teams, he was one of the first professional players and was widely regarded as probably the world's best left handed player at his peak.

Alan represented England 27 times and recorded 18 wins.

Our thoughts are with with Alan's family and friends at this sad time.

Announcement: England Darts/Bunn Leisure

I have just received the following message from Bunn Leisure today.

Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Covid Pandemic, and after taking advice from numerous agencies, their views being that it is highly unlikely that the current restrictions will be removed, allowing us to safely cater for the numbers of people who normally support our darts events, along with the welfare of our staff, the decision has been made that we are not in a position to hold the Golden Darts event this coming December.

We have every intention of supporting the darts events in 2021, starting with the Open in June, if anyone would like to transfer their outstanding bookings, or require refunds, please contact the bookings department. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

*****
England Darts Organisation is naturally disappointed that they will not be able to hold the event, but fully respect that everyone’s health has to be our main priority.

We once again thank all our members and players for their continued support during these very testing and abnormal times we are living through, with the hope that 2021 will bring stability back to our lives, and with it opportunities to meet up and enjoy each other’s company once again at our darts events, in the meantime England Darts will be planning in good faith for the future.

RIP Ron Bentley

We are very sad to learn that long time Hertfordshire Darts Secretary, Ron Bentley has passed away.

Our thoughts are with all Ron's family and friends at this sad time.

Hertfordshire Darts Organisation issued the following statement :

For those of you who knew him it is with deep sadness to inform you that Ron Bentley passed away today. Ron was involved with the BDO from the very start when it was formed in 1973. He was a massive part of Hertfordshire and he played an integral role in our successes over the years. He was the General Secretary of Hertfordshire Darts for over 40 years until he resigned a few years ago. A lovely man and at the BDO meetings he always sat with Dennis Ratcliffe of Derbyshire, who sadly passed away a few weeks ago.

Our heartfelt condolences go to his wife Sylvia and the rest of his family at this very sad time.

RIP Ron. From all the committee, players and supporters of the HCDO.

The Tri Nations have released new updated information, this can be reviewed by using the link below.

Tri Nations Information

1st May 2020

''Today the Tri-Nations publish their vision for the future of grass-root darts; it is quite a comprehensive document. The executive of the Tri-Nations has tried to address many of the concerns of grass-root dart players, whilst keeping in place the integrity of the system.
Although we are all unsure, when any plans can be implemented due to the current pandemic, the Tri-Nations executive feel that is imperative , that plans are in place once the sport of darts returns to normal.
We urge all officials and players to study the plans we are putting forward, plans which have been fully costed, and are a viable way forward, for everyone, should they choose to join us. It would be helpful to gauge some sort of support, to enable us to go into the market place confident we have a product on offer, which is supported by you the players."

Tri Nations Vision For The Future - Read Now

On Behalf of the Tri-Nations Darts Ltd.
Tommy Thompson

"A Path for the Future" Though no-one can know how long the Covid 19 crisis will last or how seriously the affects will have on our lives generally and or in darts specifically. However the newly appointed executive of Tri-Nations Darts felt that the following statement of intent was appropriate at this time. As we are all aware there has been considerable uncertainty concerning the future of the BDO these past few months and it's a situation that worsened with the recent abdication of the majority of their directors. Without dwelling on the well-publicised reasons for this continuing uncertainty, members interests have clearly not been best served with the ongoing lack of transparency or information, more so since the publication of their latest accounts, during which even our own auditors questioned the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, a point perhaps endorsed further by these resignations.  As a direct consequence to the auditors alarming warnings, the Tri-Nations have been working these past few weeks to put together an alternative proposal which will hopefully provide a viable and sustainable future for grass roots darts in Britain.    This proposal has been very accurately costed to ensure all members can have that future free from the threats of possible litigation and significantly, free from the damaging consequences that all the recent adverse publicity has caused.    If the members so choose, it will also allow us all to move forward together and when doing so protect the core events that we have all spent so many years enjoying and supporting.    Without making any unrealistic promises we all feel – as a new entity, that the new beginning this proposal could provide will also hopefully afford all members of Tri Nations Darts to negotiate and explore fresh contracts and sponsorship possibilities and do so unsullied by the damaging reputation that currently dominates our side of darts.    We obviously accept these potential opportunities can only be explored if and once the proposal is accepted by a majority of the three country’s current county members, and once the level of support has been ascertained, we will at the earliest opportunity and “national crisis permitting” then organise a meeting to openly discuss everything in more detail.  In the meanwhile we do ensure everyone that we will update everyone with any progress and do so in the hope that everything if accepted it could mean everything is in place for the new season - September/October 2020.    Tri Nations Letter PDF Tri Nations Business Plan Tri Nations Business Plan Powerpoint   Yours faithfully, Tommy Thompson (On Behalf of the Directors of The Tri-Nations Darts Ltd.)   Jean Haywood (Director) Cliff Murray (Director) John Smith (Director) John Williams (Director) Wayne Williams (Director)

After a good start on Thursday at the Villa Marina in Douglas, today (Friday 13th March) saw both the Ladies and Men's IOM Masters  singles events played down to their respective finals.

The ladies IOM Masters event has produced the same final as the previous days  as Fallon Sherrock and Beau Greaves reached their second final of the 2020 Festival.

The Masters event has WDF and England ranking points, which saw different seeds from the BDO ranked Classic event. In fact Beau was not seeded in today's Masters and she beat the number 1 seed Aileen de Graaf 4-1 in her semi-final. The other semi-final saw Fallon seeded 3 and she beat number 2 seed, Deta Hedman 4-2.

In the men's semi-finals, Scotland's Cameron Menzies almost made his second festival final but lost 2-4 to Thibault Tricole of France who is seeded number 2 in the WDF rankings. His opponent in the final will be Northern Ireland's Neil Duff who beat Joe Davis of Sussex 4-0.

By reaching the respective finals of today's events which were both WDF Silver ranked it means Beau, Fallon, Thibault and Neil have all qualified for the end of season WDF Masters event.
