With the second half of the season three weeks old now there is a certain normality appearing with Postling A holding a slight advantage over Little Chart B & Iron Room A. These three sides are the then ten points clear of the remainder of the division.  Although all other teams do have at least a game in hand.

In an unfortunate piece of programming the winners and runners up from the first half went head to head in the first match of the second half.  This time Iron Room B were only able to field one of their top players, and without the support junior, Shem Legarde, was only able to get the better of Roy Coles who put up some resistance in the second leg, but it was largely one way traffic.  Nick Owen & Malcom Skates served up their three wins apiece with victories over Shem, Peter Coles, and Mick Micklethewaite.  Within an 8-1 win it put Postling top of the pile, and Iron Room B the task of playing catch up for the remainder of the season.

Elsewhere the teams in second and third fought out a 5-4 result with Little Chart B coming out victorious with their strength on depth.  Iron Room A were able to field Keith Yarnley who produced a solid display with only Michelle Kingsland able to offer any resistance, but still being edged out 3-1 despite two deuces and an 11-9.  Iron Rooms A’s other Keith, this time Harris, produced the fourth point with totally eclipsing Michelle 11-7, 11-3, 11-3.  Mike Lee started brightly sharing four legs with Kevin Beasley, but a 14-12 win for Kevin in the fifth leg seemed to take the wind out of Mike’s sails for the remainder of the evening narrowly losing out to Michelle, and Tom Down showing a very confident performance and avoiding his usual fifth leg nail bitter!

Ruckinge A arrived to their match against Iron Room A to find an extremely strong Iron Room side waiting for them, with Phil Saxby & Johnny Bispham putting in rare appearances and win 3 and 2 respectively.  Not to help matters Ruckinge were only able to field two first team players, with Colin Bingham bravely stepping up from Division 2 to help out.  Charlie Richards & Hrvoje Crnko both came through their matches against Steve Bispham without losing a leg, but Steve got his revenge by repeating the feat against Colin.  The only really ‘upset’ of the night was Hrvoje taking a 3-1 win over Johnny in a very tight affair 11-9, 9-11, 11-9, 11-9.

Making up the division are the two Challock sides.  Challock A were hosted by an Iron Room B side back to full strength.  After racing into a 3-0 lead with victories for Vince Corbin, Shem Legarde, and Paul Waumsley over Cliff Ball, Peters Stevens and Steve Smith respectively it all looked good for Iron Room.  But then Cliff came through a very attacking and close 5 leg match against Shem Legarde, and then Vince couldn’t find a consistent way past Steve Smiths stubborn defence and Challock came through again in five legs. Paul had no such trouble against Peter, but then Steve managed to frustrate Shem and took a 3-1 win before Cliff provided the surprise of the night.  Not the win, we all know he is capable, but the whitewash win over Paul Waumsley.  So the match came down to a final matchup of the night with the odds heavily in Iron Rooms favour.  Vince Corbin showed no mercy hitting through Peter Stevens in three straight.

We have recently signed up to Postling, which will act as one of our social media management tools. It has excellent integration with bit.ly our URL shortner and has an easy to use post scheduler. 

     Dining, Kitchen, Coffee, Pool, Foosball, Poker, Pivot...these are the tables where you will find business being done today.  Conference tables may be the key feature of any board room yet they often sit empty while the real work occurs at the same places friends and family gather for celebrations and serious talks.  Homework at the table is not just for the kids.  Kitchen table entrepreneurs are increasingly popular as blog topics and websites yet long-time, successful business owners would tell you they have always existed.  

     At a table in Wall, SD a cocktail napkin launched the original idea for KnowTECH Training.  That idea of "what if we could..." has been evolving since that summer day in 2007.  Social Media is no where to be found within that original idea.  Facebook, Twitter, LInkedin, YouTube, Blogging, even digital photos or "smartphone" were not  really part of our vocabulary and there STILL is a lot to learn. Everyday the increase of mobile technology, cloud computing, wi-fi devices, and apps causes businesses like mine to evolve in their marketing and training techniques.
