The news that John Boy has gone bonkers comes as no suprise to his wife Sally as she has been aware of this fact for a long time.

The madness started just after John started work on the new idpa website and now he is totality hooked on making the best website he can.

John hopes this site will be welcome by all who come on-line and use it for info and results.

Memo to the England Captain. Martin when sitting on a bar stool never lean back when the said stool does not have a upright back in place( Information states that during the fall Martin was able to include a double somersault and tuck. Possible Olympic diver!!

The Big Bear Mr Bob Taylor, Scottish person chopping trees down in Sweden, had a conversation with John Walton that went:

Bob:         You seem to be having a good run lately John?
John:        Yes runner up in the Granite City, the Portland in Inverness and the Lakeside Classic.
Bob:         Where was the Lakeside Tournament held?

Bob it was not in Malmo that should shorten your list!!    

A recent “sensible” conversation involving one Tony Eccles who stated that the county of Yorkshire covered half of the area of England. It was pointed out to Tony that “Not as big as that” to witch Tony replied “No you are right its only three quarters". Who states that dart players can count?

Banks in Britain leave their doors open but chain the pens to the counters.

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for
 then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a
Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch
American shows on a Japanese TV.

The Bear is back! The wonderful Bob Taylor has returned to the circuit in the manner that he left some 18 months ago. Bob turned up some two hours before oche time. At the alloted time Bob went to control to check in, Bob was not allowed to play, WHY? He was 24 hours early! Add to that when he did play he went to play on the Ladies boards. WELCOME BACK BOB.

Hot news from the keep fit front. Bobby George has a new nickname. No sooner had filming of the new series started, the fitness head honcho Harvey christened our Bobby MR.T! We love it when a plan comes together.

We are sad to report that one of darts greatest supporters is given serious consideration to retiring from playing our magical game.
During this weeks BBC Press Launch for the 2006 Lakeside World Professional Darts Championships Ally Ross, the Sun’s top columnist stepped up to the oche at the reception and before a packed auditorium got well and truly beaten by a man from the Guardian.
Now one could understand if his opponent had been from, say the Mirror, but someone from the Guardian, who we believe in darts has only one reader, our own Chief Executive, is not acceptable and could possibly bring our sport into disrepute.
To the man who brought the “Legend” to our sport we wish him a pleasant retirement. Perhaps Ally could assist Robert Holmes in the Press Room at Lakeside. (Making the tea).

A certain top ranked player Lakeside bound has managed to stop smoking for the past month. However certain side effects have appeared in the shape of loads of extra weight.
Any plumbers in the Sheffield area be on the ready for a distress call for a massive over flow when said player takes to his hot tub.

Our informants in the great city of Inverness have asked us to inform all members to be very observant when going to the Portland Festival next year.
The Inverness authorities have contacted the IDPA to let us know that the Worlds Number One Potman Michael Hillan (part time Tesco worker) has passed his driving test. We have also been informed that the major problem is that despite four cushions young Michael still cannot see above the steering wheel.
Further advice from Inverness observe strictly the Green (Blue) Cross Code when in town.
