Dear tennis members
We are delighted that so many of you are taking the opportunity to come to our club sessions. However, with the recent increase in membership combined with the lovely weather, these sessions are becoming busier.
We recognise that you do not appreciate having to sit out for long periods between games and have considered several options.
A couple of years ago it was decided to play sets to 4 rather than 6, with sudden death deuce if there were people waiting to play. This has enabled a swifter turn-round, so less time off court between games.
Over the past few weeks even this has not been completely successful due to the swell in numbers wishing to play, so at our committee meeting last night the following was decided:
IF 12 OR MORE PEOPLE ARE WAITING, TIME ON COURT WILL BE REDUCED TO 4 GAMES – ie EACH PLAYER WILL GET 1 SERVICE GAME.
In addition, we recommend that all players make active use of the pegboard (which has recently been updated with shiny new pegs making it easier to spot your name).
On arrival, please find your peg and place it in the top row. If it is your turn to pick a game, please do it well ahead of time, place the chosen pegs in the ‘sets waiting’ position, tell the other players they are next on court and alert the person next ‘in the chair’ that they need to pick next. This is ever more important when there are more players/shorter games, so we suggest that 2 games be made up well in advance. After your game, please return your peg to the top row. If you are unsure of procedure, just ask someone to help.
We hope this will speed things up and make busier club sessions more enjoyable.
With kind regards
The Tennis Committee
