A reminder that Opening Day is Saturday 31st March. Do come and enjoy a game. After this the GC roll up currently on Monday will revert to Tuesday afternoon. Thursday as usual. People who come for Wednesday AC roll up, please note that it will start at 10am from April. This is to allow time for far members to journey without all the traffic!!!

Handicaps. Please check the new address list for your handicap. If it is incorrect please email the correct one to Sandra or myself asap.

If you are unsure as to the lawn availability on days when the weather is bad, please do check the lawns page on the website. We cannot guarantee decisions being emailed out at the beginning of the day, but Clive does the website when he is available to. We know it is frustrating if you have come and cant play because a notice says lawns unplayable, but sometimes decisions are taken late due to the unpredictability of the weather. Hopefully spring will soon be here and all will be well.

The lawns are doing well, thanks to the care of Ben and his team and we are looking forward to a good season again !

Freezing weather closes lawns - by Liz_Farrow 23/02/2018 07:53

The decision has just been taken to close the lawns while the very cold and frosty period is with us, in order to minimise damage. We have been very fortunate to have had so many days play this winter. So, as from Saturday this week (24th Feb) the lawns will be closed until further notice. We anticipate about a week, but will keep you informed and will open them again as soon as we can.

The quiz and the tournament due on 2nd March will be postponed.

The AGM will go ahead as planned on Saturday 3rd March.

Club Competitions 2018 - by Liz_Farrow 22/01/2018 18:28

Hi

It is time to be thinking about the competitions you might like to enter this year.

Please read the information carefully as it has been changed quite a bit from previous years.

We have separated out our internal competitions from the SECF and CA competitions . There is a sheet explaining more about the SECF and CA competitions and some guidance about player handicaps for each one- though this is not set in stone! We have also added the Captains for each team and they will be able to give you more info, as will Richard Brooks (GC Club captain) and Daphne Gaitley (AC Club captain).

We are hoping this will help you in your thinking and planning.

There are 4 documents regarding competitions.

1. Competitions Information, available here.

2. Brief details of the Club's internal competitions, available here.

3. SECF League information and entry form, available for download here.

4. Club internal competition entry form, available for download here.

A box will be in place at the club next Tuesday, but the forms detail other ways of giving in your entry forms.

We are hoping for many entries in both club and leagues this year!

For those of you wondering about the One ball heat at SCCC. This will be played on Sunday 29th April and be run by Deborah Marcus- so keep the date free if you are interested. Winner goes forward to the final at Surbiton.

Liz

PS: watch out for AGM info which will be coming shortly
