There will be a charity pool tournament (double elimination) on Sunday 24th May in Scrooge Pub. Sign ups are from 2pm and the games will begin around 3pm. The main aim for this tournament is to raise money for Nepal, which has recently been devastated by a series of earthquakes that have killed thousands and left many more homeless and without basic supplies. All contributions will be donated to Save the Children and we are hopeful many players from the league will come along and play. This tournament will also be open to non-league members.
The entry fee will be 10,000won and the winner will get a percentage of the takings. We will be running a Calcutta bidding process (ask if you don't know), a raffle with great prizes and there will also be fine jar for any fouls and stupid shots.
For anyone who has spent time in Nepal will know the country is rich with natural beauty and historical culture, but much more than that, they are welcoming and generous people. Please be generous in your support of this tournament. It is a public holiday the following Monday, so what better way to spend a Sunday than with a friendly group of pool players.
If you are unable to attend you can still make a donation via myself, Ronan, Charlie (Wonky Triangles) or Lenny (Boomtown Rats).

3 Alley Pub are currently homeless. They have changed their name appropriately to 'No Bar Nomads'. This week they will play their home game against Seoul Pub FUTA at King Bar. They have assured the league that they will complete their fixtures this season even if it means playing in someone's living room. Their captain, Mick, will be in touch with other team captains regarding the forthcoming home fixtures.
This will affect Bulldog Rackem & Crackem, Dolce Vita Angry Birds, Friend's The Pain and Bulldog Miss Q in the coming weeks. Please help them out by informing your players after Mick has made arrangements.
There is only one thing of which we can be certain...the old 'Wild Hogs' will never die.

As some of you are already aware, some teams have had issues with their bars changing or closing down this season.
3 Alley Pub is continuing to play where 3 Alley Pub once stood but it is now under the guise of Sam Ryan's.
Bulldog Lounge closed down last Sunday. They will play the remainder of the season at Dillinger's. This means that Hollywood Scandal should head there for the game this week and 3 Alley Pub should do the same in two weeks time.
If you have any further issues about the venues please contact myself, Mick (3 Alley Pub) or David (Bulldog Lounge) for more details.
