A new darts academy which is affiliated to the Isle of Man Darts Organisation and will be part of the British Darts Organisation youth set-up is starting in Ramsey next week.
The RAOB club hosts the first meeting of the academy aimed at eight to 17 year olds next Wednesday, March 5, between 6 and 8pm.
The sessions cost just £1 and darts will be supplied. Any primary school children who attend will have to be accompanied by a parent of guardian for the entire session.
Other sessions will hopefully be starting in Douglas and in the south of the island, while regular competitions will also take place.
All monies raised through these will go towards travel costs as the IoM Darts Academy aims to send competitors to prestigious competitions such as the Winmau World Youth Masters.
Thanks go to John, Nana Quayle and the committee of the RAOB club as well John Denny and the commitee of the IoMDO for its support. Thanks must also go to Alan Soutar (Angus Darts Academy), Emma Plank, Ted Fick Plumbing and Heating, John Bowness from Nulook Plumbing and Heating, Cu-Plas Callow and Eddie Booth who has donated 40 sets of darts.
