POSITIVES FROM BDO AGM

The full board of the BDO was re-elected at the annual BDO AGM held in Coventry: Chairman, Dave Alderman; Tournament Director, Olly Croft, OBE; Financial Director, Rod Harvey and Directors Mike Stephenson, Vic Sexton and Len Mutch.

Among the many positives to emerge was a raft of exciting plans and initiatives for the future.

·         There are ongoing discussions between the BDO and Rileys concerning plans for some new national events, and the introduction of youth academies to their Darts Zones, which will have top BDO players as mentors.

·         Oxfordshire has become the second BDO county to use a Rileys Darts Zone for its matches. For the 2010/2011 season they will be playing at Rileys Cowley.

·         Norfolk are already based in Rileys Norwich.

·         Netsport Training have been working closely with the BDO and its counties in a range of initiatives going forward.  This includes the creation of a new website to be launched this season.

·         There are plans for more self-financed prize money for Premier Division players.

·         A-Team matches in the Premier Division for the 2010/2011 season will be increased from Best of 5 Legs to Best of 7 Legs.

·         There has been a very encouraging 15% increase in player membership.

·         The 2010 BDO Personality Awards are as follows:

·         Female Official PAULINE STAFFORD (Cheshire)

·         Male Official RON BENTLEY (Hertfordshire)

·         Male Player JAMIE LEWIS (Pembrokshire)

·         Female Player DETA HEDMAN (Oxfordshire)

Sadly, since the award was made Pauline Stafford has passed away following a long and brave battle against cancer.

The BDO is therefore grateful that prior to her passing, Cheshire player Darryl Fitton was able to present her with an engraved silver pendant and photo-frame to commemorate her award as BDO Female Official of 2010.

All at the BDO send their heartfelt condolences to Pauline’s family. She was a wonderful person and a devoted and dedicated BDO official over many years.  She will be sadly missed.
