George thank you for the support, i spoke with the management of mayfield & WE ARE STILL RUNNING IT, i want the newcastle cup to be back on the bowling calendar & next year we will probably rate it if this is the reason for the lack of attendance. i am revising the prizefund & even with the generous sponsorship we will be well short of the advertized prizefund, i am hoping this won't deter entries
I am happy to listen to suggestions as to the format so people don't have to be here a 2nd day & not cash, perhaps a 12 game qualifying on saturday & top 16 play matchplay on sunday.
Please post your opinions
cheers,
peter
