Well Last night was our academy's open evening and the response was much better than i could have hoped, 19 youngsters arrived last night and paid their membership to the academy. It proves that everyone's hard work and dedication over the last 5 or 6 months has been worthwhile as i wasn't expecting to get 20 youngsters in the first three months. Some of the youngsters were showing real potential as dart players which was nice to see. We had a visit from our local PCSO's who we hope will come to see us on a regular basis.
Thanks to a generous offer from Linford working mens club we held a draw last night for the youngsters that joined and 10 of them with a parent are now heading to linford club to see our President James Wade take on Wayne Mardle in a Head to Head exibition game. As you can imagine all the youngsters (and committee members) are excited about this.
We are still hoping that now we have had a succesful open evening we will get more youngsters wanting to join the academy when we start properly on January 5th. For more infomation please visit the website.
