What will I do if I win the million dollars? I’ll just be happy recalling the day when my father first handed me a set of darts. I was ten years old.

This said, I’m sure my girlfriend Shanan will be able to think of a “million” things we need!

WORLD darts champ Phil Taylor pledged there would be no conflict with old rival and local favourite Peter Manley when the pair face off in Carlisle tonight.
There has been tension between the rivals in some previous clashes, but Taylor, who claimed an astonishing 13th world title when he whitewashed Carlisle-based Manley 7-0 in the Purfleet final in January, dismissed talk of bad blood."

Lesson Plans - Indoor Recreation - Darts
While doing some random searches on darts I ran across a lesson plan for including Darts as Recreation & Leisure activity for students with Developmental Cognitive Disabilities (DCD). The site also notes that these lesson plans maybe appropriate for wider use in other educational settings. An idea that I must agree with.
When I was in school there were very few recreation options taught outside of the basic football, basketball, track and field, volleyball and the other games they always taught for PE. Once I reached high school the options increased a bit, but never included darts. I don't think that it was much different for students with Developmental Cognitive Disabilities (DCD), and if they did have classes that targeted development of leisure skills I never heard about them.
Any teachers or school personel willing to pitch this?

A MOVE to extend the length of the oche in the local Oxford League's top divisions has been reversed following strong protests and a petition.
At the annual meeting of the Greene King Oxford & District Darts Association (ODDA), a proposal to lengthen the throwing distance from 7ft 6ins to 7ft 9 ins the generally recognised international and national distance was approved for the top sections in the men's and ladies leagues.
Once news of this decision came out, several pubs and clubs protested at the change.
Janet Loveridgecheck, captain of the Quarry Gate ladies' team in Headington, led the protests and set up a petition.
'I've been playing in the league for 20 years and don't see why we need to change now,' she said.

It’s a long way from Freeport to Saskatoon, but Josh Watson is on target to compete at the National Youth Darts Championship in Saskatoon in May.
He just needs a little help to get there.
The 14-year-old from Freeport is southwestern Nova Scotia’s only representative on the provincial team heading to Saskatchewan. It’s also the first time in five years the province will have representation at the tournament. And Watson can’t wait.
“I am happy,” he stated emphatically. “This is the farthest I’ve been in my whole life.”
But in the meantime he has to raise over $1,000 for airfare and hotel costs. So Watson has been hard at work trying to line up sponsors. There will also be a dart tournament Sunday at noon in the Royal Canadian Legion branch in Freeport. "

"Selectors go for player rated 134th in averages!
Published on 18/03/2006
THE England darts team selectors have been at it again, leaving out a player ranked third in the averages while picking someone who is rated 134th!
It is puzzling to say the least - and it happens every year. I know I asked the question often enough when the teams were announced and there was no John Kane or Richard Smith or Crissy Howat (as was) despite the fact that, at various times, they were in the top averages.
When challenged, the selectors reply: “Other factors are taken into consideration as well as averages”. Mmmm"

"Eastern Connecticut tries for spot in World Series of Darts
By BRIAN WALLHEIMER
Norwich Bulletin
WINDSOR LOCKS -- Dart players like to say any given player can beat any other on any given day.
Three players from Eastern Connecticut tried to prove that Saturday in one of the 12 regional qualifying tournaments for the World Series of Darts.
....
With the big-money prize on their minds, 259 people from New England, New York and Pennsylvania packed themselves like sardines into a room at the Double Tree Hotel for the qualifier. So many showed up, there was often hour and a half waits between rounds and players had no boards to practice on.
'Bazooka' Joe Efter, 38, of Danielson came closest of Eastern Connecticut's hopefuls, finishing in the top 16. He was handily beating Jeff Steinberg of West Hartford when he started faltering.
'He was throwing so well and for some reason he was pressing and I don't know why,' said Steve Wehrle, president of the Southeastern Connecticut Dart League."
