Results of Solomon Cup: John Daniels beats top seed - 09/10/2013 08:51

Solomon Cup  SCCC  Southwick 28th/29th September 2013

John Daniels, having come through his semi-final  +13 against top seed, Mark Ormerod,  won the Solomon Cup  for the second year in succession by beating the Manager  +10 +12  in the  Bo3 Final.  Sadly there was a disappointingly low number of  entries (only 10) but this at least meant  that all players enjoyed games that were single banked  and plenty of space in the Club Hut to eat the excellent lunches provided by the Club!  The Consolation Swiss was won by Mark Ormerod who 26’d David Marsh in their last game of the weekend to finish on 4/5.

Items from the Club Secretary - 22/08/2013 10:47
Dear SCCC member
 
Lawns
 
We are working hard with our contractor to improve the lawns and surrounds, There have been a couple of incidents recently which have hindered the contractor's efforts.
 
Our agreement with the contractor is that they should accept instructions from only the Head of Grounds, Robin Wootton, or the Chairman. Recently on one occasion members asked the contractor to stop painting the white lines on a lawn on which they were playing and on another occasion to stop cutting the grass around the lawn. All members should appreciate that the contractor has to carry out the cutting and white-lining tasks at times they have scheduled and we ask all members to be understanding in this even if a match or competition is being played.
 
At times when a lawn or lawns are taken out of use for maintenance, the centre peg and, usually, hoop 1 will be removed and, whenever practical, the blackboard updated to show the lawns out of use. In one case recently a hoop was taken from another lawn and put in the hoop 1 slot so that the out-of-use lawn could be used..Please will all members respect the indications that a lawn is out of use.
 
 
Competitions
 
Alan Theobald has updated the competitions section of the web-site with progress in the internal competitions if you are interested or might need to arrange your next match.
 
GC Inter-counties and lawn availability + THEME DINNER
 
On Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September we are hosting the GC Inter-counties Tournament and all lawns will be in use those two days.
 
Places are still available for the French Theme Dinner on 14 Sept (7pm for 7.30: 3 super courses for only £12) - sign up at the club or by email to Chrissy.
