The English Open on 30th October is the 14th - and final - competition in the 2015-16 season.
Is there going to be a 2016-17 season? If so, when are the details of the tournaments likely to be posted, please?

If players and the SOA are happy fro the league to continue, there will be a 2016-17 season.
As to details of the tournaments, that depends on when I am informed of them.

I saw Phil Steele today and he confirmed that the SoA is happy to support the league for a further season.

Excellent news. Did you e.mail Alan to ask, or did he contact you? Really pleased he's going to run it again. It's a fair drive, but always fun....AND Mag Mil are usually there for a few extras for Mountain Neverpaint. Thanks for spreading the word, Denis.

I seem to be asking everyone else questions about the league and I wouldn't want him to feel left out.
It is a good show and a fun competition to start the (calendar) year. A mile or so further to drive in its new venue, but definitely worth it.

St Cyres school, Sully Road, Penarth, CF64 2XP. About a mile and a half from the old location Plentiful parking (or so I'm told).
I gather that there will be a free shuttle bus from the station by the former venue starting at 9.30 and running every 30 minutes. There is also a bus back, but it looks as if there are only three runs (at 3pm, 3.30 and 4pm), which might be a bit tight for anyone playing in the competition.

Is there going to be a 2016-17 season? If so, when are the details of the tournaments likely to be posted, please? Working on the assumption that the SOA are happy to continue sponsorship (which seems very likely after talking to Phil Steele yesterday, I have started an initial list of known tournaments for 2016-17 at portsmouthwargames.wordpress.com/society-of-ancients-uk-dba-league/league-tournaments/
If you can provide any updates or additions, let me know.
Bill
