March leagues

Hello

Attached are the March Leagues. There are two new players this month, Phil Taylor and Anthony Gluyas. Welcome to you both and I hope you enjoy your squash.

As we try to create more of a club atmosphere, Andy Dodgson has organised a Handicap Competition to be played on Friday, Saturday and Sunday(26 - 28 March). It's open to all players and I hope you'll join in. Please respond to Andy when he sends out the notification. Also, we will be organising a regular Club Night when you can just turn up and play whoever else is there. Each night will have a nominated organiser and will be up and running in April.

We still have players who don't always play! Please, please if you can't play one month just make a note on the league sheet and I'll include you the following month. If you don't play it's unfair on those trying to play matches. So, if you get a call or email from a box member, please get back to them. My other regular plea is to get your games booked early. Last month I know of two players who leaving it late were unable to get courts because they were all booked. We've got a few four player leagues this month so there's no excuse.

How are you finding the Leisure Centre and courts these days? I've written to TJ Hutchinson, the Manager recently to complain of misbehaviour of youths, food wrappers, drinks bottles, water and dried mud on the courts and thefts from the changing rooms. People are allowed to wander into the centre unchallenged who take no part in Leisure Centre activity. In the past I've been told it helps sell more from the drinks/food dispenser but it's become a little like a drop in centre for the kids. I'm yet to receive a reply but if you feel dissatisfied in any way please make a complaint to the Duty Manager and TJ. It's the only way things can improve.

Finally congratulations to February League winners: 1. Mike Sayce; 2.Andy Dodgson; 3.Tony Woods; 4. Chris Sanders.

Regards Tony
