First impressions were; yeah, looks great, loads of boards, iPad scoring, only downside - no real ales, but I wasn’t there for the beer.  I took up a spot in a queue on the first board I could find, by this time I’m starting to feel the nerves, I’m trying to sus out who is my level, glancing at practice darts flying in, I panic after what feels like a plethora of T20s land around me, or am I just being dramatic? I practiced for around 15 minutes, didn’t really find my groove but it was just enough to sett...
