New Format for 2012 Tennis Club Championships senior events....

Just in case you are planning your summer around your attempt to win this years club championships, you should know that the format and dates will be different in 2012.

This year we will be running a straight knock out format in all the event categories. A significant change is the shift to the end of the summer to avoid clashing with the busy team matches season in May and June.

The very popular one day doubles events will still take place but they will not be linked to the club championships

Note that the junior club championships will still take place over May/June and the junior finals day will be on Sunday 1st July

Squash Courts busy this weekend 28/29 January....

The club is hosting an intercounties squash match and a Hampshire girls training  squad this weekend and as a result court availability will be reduced. On Saturday two courts will still be available for members throughout the day while on Sunday there are no courts available between 10:30am and 3pm.

The squash committee assessed and approved the hosting of the events based on review of court usage at weekends. There is still lots of opportunity to play on both days and members' cooperation is appreciated.

New Floodlights Installation gets underway....

The installation of floodlights on courts 4567 will get underway next week starting Monday 30 January. The initial phase of works will take around two weeks and will mean that two courts will not be available at any one time over that fortnight (note that weekends will be unaffected).

Bookings will be taken on courts 4&5 only although it may be that on the day it is actually courts 6&7 that are available for play. The important thing to note is just that we will be without two of the courts during the week. There will be some unavoidable distraction and noise during the work as a result of trench digging, etc in order to prepare and install the floodlight posts.

There are 18 posts in all to be installed providing 6 floodlights to each court. The positioning and quality of the lights will ensure a much better quality installation than we currently have on courts 1&2.

Members co-operation and understanding during the works is appreciated.

Squash Team Reports - 3 Jan 2012....

Winchester 6th go equal top of league..... Despite losing a tight match 3-2 away at Nuffield Health, our 6th team captained by Allan Hawkey reached equal top by picking up 10 points and restricting their opponents to 16 points. The loss came despite a commanding performance from Scott Finlayson at number one  (won 3-0) and an excellent battling 3-2 win by number two Tim Cooling.
