New 2024/25 Random 15 Championship season.

Post by tangy »

As the 2023/24 season comes to a conclusion, it is time to think about the upcoming 2024/25 season starting in September.

Before I confirm dates for each individual round, if there are there any dates that you know you CANNOT attend due to clashes with sporting fixtures or booked holidays then please speak up.

I will do my best to schedule rounds with the minimum amount of clashes but this isn't guaranteed.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!

My diary for the next 12 months is surprisingly empty. Only dates I can't do are:

28/09/24
02/12/24
01/02/25
22/02/25

There's a few other things in there but I haven't committed to them yet and I'd rather be challenging.

I think the opposite. The dates should only be confirmed closer in time when the commitments of the regulars become clear.

Plenty of people from outside London manage to attend without issues. Of course Andi wouldn't know that, because he never turns up even when the dates are announced with plenty of notice.

MY POINT IS THE DATES are not announced with plenty of notice i made this pretty clear if u announce the dates well in advance and i mean not 2 weeks before then people outside of london maybe could attend its not knocking it when its clear that POINT IS MADE!

The season starts in September. That's a month away, not two weeks. Secondly, people are actively discussing potential dates without complaining about it.

Third, it's only a bit of fun ...
