Formation of region 6

[brocher]

The SEPF are glad to announce that due to an increase in members and as a
result of the vast area that the current Region 3 covers that as of Jan 2013 the
region will split in half and therefore create a new region.

This will benefit all our members as we strive to continue our growth.

Region 3 will remain and will now cover the South West of Scotland.
This region will be responsible for leagues/towns west of Langholm
and as far up the country to Glasgow.

A new Region 6 will be created and will cover the South East of Scotland.
This region will be responsible for leagues/towns east of Langholm
and as far up the country to Edinburgh.

In 2013 each region will have it's own seperate regional tour.

We believe this to be a major step forward for South of Scotland eightball pool.
This step will also benefit all players as there will be less travel for all concerned.

Well done and thank you to all South of Scotland players for your support and attendance
over the last few years. Long may it continue.

So region 3 will effectively be getting 2 International squad places then lol?! I certainly didn't realise the numbers on the region 3 tour this year (44?) merited a whole new region. I mean Region 4 can't even get an SEPF major event even though we attract the most players by some margin. Nuts.

Nothing whatsoever to do with the fact the Borders players boycotted the R3 tour because of the "outsiders", and started their own non-affiliated tour?

There's "spin", and then there's "lies"

Ach, it's another £250 in the bank regardless- *kerching*

Yes I had heard this too. Pretty poor stuff...

Doesn't take a genius to work out! When I was onboard we told R3 they could split east and west once they got Prnicuick and Eyemouth on board. No doubt as soon as I post this it will be announced that this is imminent!
