NEW VENUE FOR 2006 BDO BRITISH OPEN AND 2006 WINMAU WORLD MASTERS
The 2006 BDO BRITISH OPEN and 2006 WINMAU WORLD MASTERS will be played at LEISURE WORLD, Bridlington while The Spa Royal Hall is undergoing a multi-million pound refurbishment programme in readiness for 2007.
The BDO British Open will be played in its ‘temporary home’ from Friday, September 15th to Sunday, September 17th, and for the first time ever the Singles will be broadcast live by Eurosport as part of a new broadcasting contract for Eurosport to screen BDO/WDF Open events throughout the year.
The Winmau World Masters will be played from Friday, October 13th to Sunday, October 15th, with the usual excellent TV coverage on BBC-1’s ‘Grandstand’ and BBC-2 ‘Sunday Grandstand’ over the weekend of October 14th and 15th.
The new venue is situated on Bridlington Promenade within walking distance of The Spa and has a whole range of facilities for family enjoyment and entertainment.
“The refurbishment work at The Spa Royal Hall will greatly improve the excellent facilities, but unfortunately won’t be ready in time for either the 2006 BDO British Open or the 2006 Winmau World Masters”, says Olly Croft.
“However, Bridlington has now become the home of both major tournaments and we didn’t want to go anywhere else. East Riding Council have always been welcoming to our darts and the players, officials and fans, and I thank them most sincerely for providing such an excellent temporary venue at Leisure World of the biggest major tournaments on the BDO calendar. And there is a real bonus, because both will be televised to huge audiences.”
The BD British Open is firmly established as one of the most popular events - for both players and spectators - on the British Darts Organisation calendar.
2006 is the 32nd staging of the BDO British Open, which made its successful Bridlington debut in 2003. It now returns for the 4th successive year.
The thirty-third Winmau World Masters is the final leg of the BDO’s prestigious Grand Slam title of televised majors, and will be staged for the fifth successive year in Bridlington. The oldest established major event in World Darts (first staged in 1974) it is unique for having four separate finals: Men, Women, Boys and Girls Masters.
As always, it is expected to attract hundreds of top players from over thirty countries.
