A Ladies Darts Association History of Moonspinners |
|
       |
| This
ladies' dart club was started in 1977 with the purpose of promoting
women's darts. The club is not large, only 17 members,
but it is impressive. The membership includes Lois Miller,
ADO Ladies Champion 1979; Kim Kelly, second-ranked player in
the United States in 1981; Katy Casillas, third-best woman dart
shooter in 1983. In 1980 five of the top ten women dart
players in the United States were Moonspinners. At tournaments, women wearing the Moonspinner name on their jackets or shirts are always willing to keep score (which too many players are hesitant to do), or provide other help. They are ready to assist beginners at any time. The club sponsors an annual pro-am ladies only tournament that is very popular. Prospective members should be willing to help promote darts and be eager to encourage more women to play. The list below are all past members of the Moonspinners. |
