August’s WASPA

8 player tournament this week. Won by Bob beating Oakley in the final. The remaining fixtures contested the 3rd, 5th and 7th place play offs. Two groups of 4 contest a Round Robin before moving into the knockout phase.
It is a great way of running a WASPA as with each stage, everyone still has a game to play. So it is full flicking action with each of us playing 6 matches.

We have varying abilities at the club, and the more experienced players try to coach the new or returning players in order to improve their game. We want all our members to improve their game in order to create good competition whilst retaining the fun amongst us all.

At our club we currently play on Astro pitches but we are soon to have 4 brand new professionl tables with extreme pitches. We are very excited for this. We know there is a big difference between the surfaces and the weight at which you flick with. We think this will bring our individual game on further.

When we do get up to speed with our new pitches we would like to start visiting other clubs and inviting down those who are a similar standard as us, for some inter-club flicking.

Many thanks World Amateur Subbuteo Players Association (WASPA) for the work you do in collecting and administrating all the data, helping to keep this great game alive and flicking! We certainly enjoy it.

🎂Birthday celebrations were great at last weeks meeting. Cake, drinks and laughs.
Big welcome to Kevin who attended for the first time. Met the lads and within 5 minutes he is playing his first game of Subbuteo for years. Information overload for the poor lad. But a more welcoming set of fellas you won’t meet. Looking forward to our WASPA meet next week. A Round Robin of fixtures means plenty of game time and we all know the best way to learn is to play!

🎂Birthday time for South Devon Subbuteo. I cannot believe it has been 2 years. I have met some great guys, enjoy their company, the laughs and the flicking! I think we can all agree that our group brings another piece of enjoyment to all our lives.
Thank you to those who make the difference. You know who you are.
You too can join our ranks and enjoy learning the modern game like we have.
Get in touch!🎂

Got a cheap club kit plug when the BBC came to film my footy collection last week…

Simon Francis has collected more than 80 Mitre footballs which he displays above his stairs.

The Cromwell WASPA

Named so in honour of our absent Reading FC fan! Shame he couldn’t be there.

Another great meet. Round Robin with plenty of goals.

We meet twice a month. First meet is our club meet for league and cup matches. Second is always a WASPA and anyone is welcome to attend.

If you are holidaying in Devon or Cornwall during August and fancy joining us please get in contact.
