BDO Youth Festival of Darts 20-21 July Colchester

Yes, he had a moan in his email thing, citing the venue is near Stansted. Yes, I am sure hundreds of kids from Ryanair hubs across Europe were planning on giving it a go

It's a long time since I've been down to that part of the world so I may be completely wrong, but isn't Colchester out towards the coast? Somewhere near Clacton?
That must make it about an hour's drive from Stansted, and pretty much a pain in the arse to get to by road from anywhere outside Essex.

47 minutes currently, so not far off.

It has been very poorly promoted as far as I have seen.

Who's actual ly supposed to do the promotion from the BDO at the moment, wasn't there supposed to be a load of new board members?

Doubts starting to creep in already about how well the BDO can promote the WDT in 6 weeks, mate?

Was just wondering.As any private promoter would be out there hammering sales for their own event. Des has had enough time to sort out who promotes events for the BDO

Deciding leg as well. Bet he threw an almighty strop.

Let's hope he did and there's footage. Horrible little Herbert.

[Ginge]

Hopefully he had the throw as well.

Fantastic weekend at BDO festival of youth , great matches and in the main fantastic spirit .
One downside is the shouting and getting in the face of your opponents , happened on several occasions today by several players ! Maybe I’m old fashioned but it didn’t sit well with me , players trying to wind each other up , the thing is the players concerned and it’s certainly more than 1 or 2 are saying there chosen route will be the PDC , but once they are on CT which some already are and others who will be in the future won’t be able to carry on like they did today !! At your young ages let your darts do the talking .

Saw Jack Main play this weekend a series of injuries robbed him of a possible lucrative career in football , but he showed the way the game should be played ! Very confident in his own ability but was a credit on and off the oche .
At this rate the DRA must be praying for some of the current crop of youngsters to go Pdc . Just enjoy the game and your victories ."



Paul concerned with their behaviour. And rightly so it seems.

[ChrisW]

They are watching their heroes like MVG. Price and Wade what do you expect.
