The SCCC GC B level was held on 6/7 May 2017. The tournament was played using 19 point games, Whilst a tad cold the weather was dry and partially sunny. The tournament was won by Gavin Taylor from Merton and runner up was a new up and coming new player Ben Harwood from SCCC. Unfortunately Andrea Huxley had to withdraw after Day 1 due to an illness and was replaced by Eileen Prodder who very kindly stepped into the gap to avoid the competitors having to have byes. The final positions were as follows: 1. Gavin Taylor 2. Ben Harwood 3. Andrew Carpenter 4. Louise Taylor 5. John Skuse 6. Eileen Prodger/ Andrea Huxley 7. Richard Carline 8. Morgan Case

The lists for match play are up in the club and will soon be on the website. A gentle reminder that the first named of the pair is responsible for contacting the opponent to arrange play. Please stick to the date allocations!!
Some of you have put down to play in leagues, but many more of you may like to have a go!
I attach the list of team captains, so that you can contact them if you would like to know more about a league , or offer to play in it .
Leagues are run by the South east Federation (SECF) and CA inter club by the CA.
I am more than happy to explain any league to you. Alternatively look at the SECF or CA websites.
It is a great way of meeting other club players.

The one ball heat of the Charity One Ball competition was held at SCCC on Sunday 2nd April. The competition was played on an all plays all format (American Block). The event raised £152 in aid of Parkinson’s Disease and was won by Robin Wootten. Under the rules of the competition we can enter 1 person for every £50 donated towards the charity. This year we were eligible for three places which go to the highest 3 placed players that are available for the final at Surbiton on Sunday 7th May. Robin Wootton, Luc Berthouze and Rosemary Faulkner will therefore be representing us at Surbiton.

Dear all
I set out below guidance on use of lawns over the winter, including priorities for lawn use and other aspects of winter play:
Perhaps more than in previous years, lawns will be in short supply this winter. We normally keep lawns 10 and 11 in use throughout the winter and rotate usage of the other lawns with lawns 1, 2 and 3 normally rested, as they are the lowest lying and shaded by the trees on the railway embankment and so never really dry out in the middle of winter. With lawns 7, 8, 10 and 11 out of action until May because of this year’s renovation, there will be only 4 lawns available for most of the winter.
There are three designated club sessions a week – Monday and Thursday afternoon GC and Wednesday morning AC, where priority is given to GC or AC respectively and given the shortage of lawns, this will have to be applied strictly this winter.
Tournaments and pre-arranged Academy coaching also have priority.
Other club-approved sessions take place during the week at pre-arranged times. During these sessions and at all other times lawns should be shared by club members and consideration given to any member wishing to play / practice outside any session going on at the time.
Other winter aspects
Use of secondaries
Secondary balls should be used during the winter in preference to primaries to even out wear and tear on the sets of balls. This will also help members to become familiar with using the secondaries.
Jump shots
As the ground is softer, jumping is not permitted.
Starting corner for GC
Please will all players remember to start GC social games over a yard away from the usual starting corner (corner IV as AC players know it) to avoid wear and tear in the corner.
