Thank you to everyone who completed the recent club session survey; the feedback was really helpful. In response to some of the points raised, we're excited to announce a trial period with a new format for our Thursday evening sessions.

There will be a new, more structured approach to the session starting this Thursday (September 25th). Here’s how it will work:

·         Session Start (6:00pm): Arrive, warm up, and get ready for the games to begin.

·         Structured Play (6:15-7:45): We will play for three 30-minute rounds. At the end of each round, we will have a promotion/relegation system to decide the next round of matches. Pairs split, so one never plays with the same partner consecutively.

·         7:45 onwards: free play/continue current round of matches. 

·         Late comers: we appreciate not everyone can arrive by 6.15. Late comers will warm up on any free court and then join in for the next round, starting on the bottom court. 

·         Initial pairings: The goal is to create balanced doubles matches from the start. We will therefore have a few of the longer standing members of the club (volunteers required) try to allocate some fair pairings for the initial 30 minutes.

This new format will run for a 6-week trial period. If you have any questions or initial thoughts, please send us an email. Your feedback is crucial to helping us find the best way to run these sessions.
