More Housekeeping
A few things to let everyone know about:
JR Pub The Ace:
Sadly JR Pub The Ace have withdrawn from the league after having difficulties with player numbers. King Bar and JR Pub The Victory will receive 10-0 wins in the next two weeks for the games that were scheduled to be played against 'The Ace'.
The Executive Committee:
Ronan, Mark, Jumie and myself are happy to stay in our respective positions for 2016. However, this being a democracy, we also invite applications from others should they wish to stand for the various roles of President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary next year. Please submit details of your proposed committee to me and I will inform the league and a vote will be taken at the end-of-season banquet on December 18th.
Steel Billiards:
A new pool hall has opened up just opposite Sin Bin and up the hill from King Bar. They are willing to let IPL members play there all day for 10,000won. The tables are of a high quality and the facilities comfortable. They are considering hosting a team or two from next season and they are wiling to talk to any team that may be looking for a new venue from next season. The address and phone number are as follows:
Steel Billiards
139-8 Jungeun Building
Itaewon 1 Dong
Yongsan Gu
02-6082-5479
Friendly Pool League Clash with Anjeong-ri League:
We were hoping to have a friendly with Anjeong-ri League on Saturday 28th November at their place but because of the busy IPL calendar in late November and early December we have postponed this idea till January. Once myself and Jay from Anjeong-ri Pool League can agree some dates we will let you know.
