Who is Your Fellowship!?

You Shall be The Fellowship of the GBHL...

9* Companions, brought together by a single purpose, to ensure the Great British Hobbit League runs as smoothly as possible. This is, the GBHL Management Comittee... It is elected every two seasons by tournament organisers who have run events in the last year, or have one planned for the next year.

After Recent Elections a whole comittee of people have been elected to the comittee, and will get to work straight away ensuring events are happening and rankings are ready for the new season. If you have any questions feel free to get in touch with the person most relevant to your question!

Roles:

• Alastair King - League Co-Ordinator (Essentially the Boss). The Co-ordinator chairs meetings and pulls together all the information from the other committe members. They are responsible for overall strategy, queries among other numerous things.

• Dewi Evans - Rankings Officer (Spreadsheet Whizz). This is someone who LOVES spreadsheets and is adept at using them to keep the complex rankings system up to date after each tournament. Find rankings here.

• Jonny Wright - League Secretary (Rulespack Sub). This is someone who has a keen eye for any potential concerns about tournament rules or other issues relating to Rulespacks. They check each rulespack to ensure they're balanced and don't give anyone unfair advantages towards winning League Points.

• Bradley Cottington - Treasurer (Mr Moneybags). This is the member who checks the financials of the league. Each Tournament contributes to a pot which pays for prizes for the winners of the league, including Most Sporting and Best Painter of the season, the treasurer also keeps track of income and expenditure in a transparent way.

• Matt King - Scheduling Co-Ordinator (Calendar Boss). This is someone capable of juggling a complex (and ever expanding) schedule of tournaments. We want to encourage events to not clash, and to make sure players competing have a chance to balance life with tournament play (i.e. not having three competitive tournaments back to back or on the same weekend!) See the calendar here, and to get your event in the league Contact at: gbhlevents@outlook.com

• David Reid (North), Barney menzies (Central), Alastair King (South temp) - Regional Co-Ordinators (Friend of the TOs). These are three roles (North, Central, South) to assist Tournament Organisers. They are experienced TOs themselves and can assist new and old events with any issues. That could be getting terrain, submitting scores, promotion, or simply advice on rules restrictions etc.

• Me - Marketing Co-Ordinator. In charge of keeping the GBHL Blog up to date, entice others to get involved in writing articles, and to promote and publicise the league and its events in every way they can! Contact me on Entmootpodcast@gmail.com with GBHL in the subject line if you have questions.

*We have one companion missing! If you're interested in being a regional co-ordinator for the south, we'd love to hear from you!
