A meeting of the Folkestone dart League was held at the
George III, Little Fenchurch Street, on Monday afternoon, those present being
the Chairman, Mr. Roy Smiles (White Lion), the Secretary, Mr. Cork (George
III), Mrs. Summerfield (Royal Standard), Mr. Aird (Valiant Sailor), Mr. Mason
(Shakespeare), Mr. MacEvett (West Cliff Shades), Mr. Gregory (West Cliff
Shades), Mr. Cook (Gun Tavern), Mr. Bean (Railway Bell), Mr. Butler (Globe),
Mr. Baldock (Royal Oak), and Mr. Purberry (British Lion).
The Chairman said one of the first points of the success of
the League was that it brought men closer together, and consequently there was
closer friendship. The smoking concert was very successful. It was up to them
to do something for the customers. The darts teams would bring the customers
together during the winter months, and he (the Chairman) hoped they would be
able to hold a dinner this year. He would like to put to those present a
resolution in favour of running a Darts League that year. The Dart League Cup
was given to the League unconditionally by Sir Philip Sassoon.
Mr. Cook moved that a Darts League should be arranged for
the autumn and winter. This was seconded by Mr. Cork and carried unanimously.
Mr. Cork was requested to carry on the duties of Secretary
for another year. He said he would like to resign the position, as he had a lot
of other duties to perform. Eventually he gave way and said he would endeavour
to do his best.
Mr. Cook proposed Mr. Roy Smiles as the Chairman for the ensuing
year, and this was carried unanimously. Mr. Roy Smiles then suggested Mr. Cook,
Mrs. Summerfield and Mr. Mason as the Committee, and this was carried.
Mr. Roy Smiles said they were going to try to get a shield
from the brewers. If a letter was written to them, undoubtedly they (the
brewers) would support them.
Mr. Cook suggested having medals for the winners and
runners-up, limited to fourteen, and said they could also be had from the
brewers. The Secretary could be instructed to write to the brewers. He moved
that be done. This was seconded by Mr. Butler, and carried.
It was agreed that the competing area would be the same as
last year, namely from the Valiant Sailor to the White Lion. The rules were
gone through, and one or two alterations made.
On the motion of the Chairman, a vote of thanks was passed
to the Press for the help accorded to the League.
