Back in the early 1990's Mike Webb decided to help promote the then dwindling Bass 1990s league, eventually taking over the organisation completely. This was then renamed the East Midlands Thursday Pairs and ran through the summer, usually starting early in May. If you hadn't already guessed then yes, it was played on a Thursday evening
Up until 2012, all the clubs were based in the East Midlands area around the Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire divide but the league expanded slightly in 2013 by including Mansfield
At the end of 2018 a number of the southernmost clubs decided to break away into a separate league and thus 2019 presents us with a new and exciting challenge moving forward
