| New
and Improved DA Website launched Many of you assisted DA in 2006 by completing our programs and demographics surveys. One item for improvement that was almost unanimously suggested was a revamped DA website. You spoke and we listened. As of February 8, 2008, the face of DARTS Alberta online has officially changed. Please take some time (if you haven't already) to visit the site. Feel free to send us your feedback on the new site to publicity@dartsalberta.com. |

| Each Darts Alberta Member to Receive Newly
Published NDFC
Rulebook
A number of NDFC rules have been revised over the years for clarity, several new rules have been adopted and the NDFC has recently published a new Official NDFC Rules of Play. As an added member service during the 2007-08 season, Darts Alberta has committed to providing each and every one of our members with a free copy of this new rulebook to ensure our members have the necessary information regarding the rules that govern our sport. This new rulebook would typically retail at a cost of $5.00 per book. There are a few Member Leagues that Darts Alberta is still waiting on their membership list submissions. As the lists are received, Darts Alberta will begin this direct mail out to all of our members. |
