Millane Cup
Hi Charlie/Fran
I have had a number a queries about the Millane Cup entries.
The BLI competition entry forms will be sent to all clubs in the coming weeks. These will contain a column for the Millane Cup. Both names must be entered and sent to myself. The BLI treasurer will bill the club for all BLI entries including both players entering the Millane Cup.
The closing date will be April 12th at 5pm and the cost is €7 per person (€14 per pair) similar to the cost of all the other BLI competitions.
The draw will take place a few days after the closing date. This will be sent to all clubs and also posted on the website.
Can you forward this information onto your respective secretaries/delegates.
Kind Regards
Stephen Millane
Hon. Competition Secretary
