World Cup Tennis and BBQ

Thank you to those involved in organising Monday's World Cup Tennis Tournament. The day was a lot of fun and the quality of the BBQ meat was better than what had previously been on offer at similar Club events. I think the event is worth a repeat.

I would only suggest keeping the bar open longer next time around!

Court Availability

Through this media I would like to thank Roy for negotiating and obtaining the excellent floodflit facillities at the LTA National Tennis Centre. The only downside for me is the comparison with the floodlights at Surbiton . I understand that the possibility of improving our lights is restricted by planning permission requirements but would love to see lower difused lights if only our neighbours would relent.

Improve the hard court booking system

We recently sent a letter to all members describing problems when there are not enough hard courts available. We also presented 6 possible ways to reduce queues for courts, with the pros and cons. An advance booking system was the recommended option and members are asked to respond to this idea.

The letter has been added to the Useful Booking Forms web page.

What do you think we should do and why?

Tennis league review

Do you have ideas to improve or change the league? Topics to consider are :

1. bonus points for playing early,
2. length of playing period,
3. players who are uncontactable or do not return calls,
4. players who don't play,
5. court availability,
6. promotion and relegation,
7. players in an incorrect division.
