I know it's a fair way off, but after discussion with Anton and Kevin at the Worthing Open this year I'd like to throw Norwich's hat into the ring for consideration as the next host city for this prestigious tournament.
I've done a little preliminary 'research' and there are a fair few pubs with good darts boards, real ale and bar billiards tables. We have no less than two Travelodges and two Premier Inns (for the posh gits amongst you!) and Norwich is only two hours from Liverpool Street for the bargain price of £16 return!
Oh, and Norwich isn't too far either from the famous East Anglia Transport Museum at Carlton Colville, which is well worth a visit!
Any other nominations?

Re: BDO Open 2012
Sounds good James, Norwich gets my vote. You only need one more vote from the TCDLC and your home and hosed.
I expect that Exeter and Sheffield could feature in future rounds?

Sheffield is local for me at the moment. But I'm not sure how long for.

Re: BDO Open 2012
As we discussed in Worthing I am happy to give this my blessing
Now lets get a date sorted as those Travelodge rooms go fast and the prices increase as well
Maybe SD is thinking of Richie when he mentions Exeter
Although he lives a few miles away in Tiverton, which is not a bad town at all with a few pubs, not sure of their facilities though?

Re: BDO Open 2012
I was thinking Exeter for two reasons, not far for Richie and very handy if you want to take in an Exeter match.

Who would be mad enough to want to go to an Exeter match?!
