Dave served as an England Selector for several years and also put in a lot of work with his wife Enid at the early EDO events. He regularly drove around the Country fetching and returning the equipment for England to use at their events, sometimes this would take up a week of his time and showed he was one of the behind the scene stalwarts. On behalf of all the England players and officials who worked with Dave, we would like to pass on our condolences to Enid and the family at this sad time. 23rd March 2015 The England Selectors were sad to learn today that Glen Durrant will not be available to play for England in the forthcoming British Internationals. His replacement is Lewes Venes of London who will be making his debut.     20th March 2015 The England Diary Dates page has been updated to include the date of the EDO Annual General Meeting which will be held in Coventry on 19th April. The regional finals (x4) will be held on 16th August, the venues and entry forms will be issued at the EDO  AGM. 3rd March 2015 The England Open events can now be entered online and a list of all the entered players can also be seen by clicking on the respective links at the top of this page.
