Proposals for Wimbledon Ticket Allocation 2008

Last year I organised the Wimbledon Ticket ballot and it was a lot of work (made worse when I subsequently had to give up my Men's Semi-Final Tickets!)

This year I want to make a proposal which will massively reduce the administration and encourage tennis members to get together for a bit of a social. Here's the idea:-

The application to enter the ballot for tickets, the ballot itself, payment and ticket distribution will all take place one the same evening. Additionally I suggest that tickets in the first instance will only be allocated to members who are present!! Controversial I know but if the date is advertised well in advance (i.e. 6 weeks) to insist that at least one of any pair of members turns up is not too much to ask.

Anyway, there's a POLL on the right so please let us have your opinion!

Middlesex LTA Summer Leagues

Dear All,

We have just submitted our applications forms team tennis to the Middlesex LTA.

As per previous years we will be entering two Ladies and two Men's teams in the Middlesex Slazenger League Summer (West) and one Ladies' and one Men's team in the Middlesex Cup 2008.

Men's tennis particularly needs a shot in the arm after the loss of several of our best players in 2007. The first team was out of its depth in Division 1 losing all 7 of its games and relegated in 8th (out of 8th place). The second team fared much better with closely fought second place and promotion to Division 4 in 2008.

The Ladies first team also was relegated from Division 2 losing 5 of their 7 games whilst the seconds were comfortable in Division 6 with a 5-3 record and 4th place.

We would like to encourage anyone who wants to represent the club particularly the Men to make themselves known to us by emailing parsonsgreentennis@gmail.com. We would also like to hold 1-2 sessions in March/April where any interested players can try out for the teams.
