ELECTRODARTS HISTORY  

Electrodarts was formed in 1981 by Paul Healand, Tom Edmondson and Frank Burniston.

They were looking for funds for the Humberside county stage set up for the electrics.

They came up with the name Electrodarts to raise funds for the electrics and to also run tournaments under the Electrodarts banner.

They went on to organise and promote most of the tournaments in the city, which included the News of the World.

Following Paul’s move with work to Kenya the committee folded in 1989.

Following the revival of the Neil Edmondson memorial by Dave Taylor in May 2002 the name Electrodarts has made a comeback.

Since 2002 Electrodarts have gone onto raise £20,000 for local charities such as cystic fibrosis, dove house hospice, cancer ward 10 castle hill, Viking radio for the kids, Macmillan nurses and Hull Royal cardiac unit.

The current committee is Dave Taylor(chairman), George Beckett, Tom Edmondson, Paul Taylor and Dave Littlewood.

This year the main charity has been Dove House Hospice for which they have produced a calendar of lady dart players form around the city
