Saturday 13 September 2025, Saturday Morning Group Arranged Play

09:00 to 11:00

The aim of the Saturday Morning Group Arranged Play is to provide a couple of hours of tennis between 9.00 and 11.00 on Saturday mornings with no waiting time between or before games. To facilitate this, the players for each week are arranged beforehand; turn-up and play is not available. Players must arrive promptly at 9 o'clock and be available to play until 11 unless replaced by another player part way through the session.

In order to ensure an even number of players, players are listed in the order they signed up to the event. If there is an odd number of players, or more than 12 players have signed up, then the last signed up player(s) must attempt to get another player to make up an even number of 12 or less, turn up after 10.15 to mix in after the first two sets, or withdraw from the event.

Sunday 28 September 2025, Winter Ladder Sign Up

12:00

The Winter Ladder will be starting on Wednesday evenings in October. The ladder is mixed sex and consists of divisions of 4 players playing three one-set doubles matches, partnering each of the other three players in turn. The player winning the most games is promoted and the player winning the least games is demoted. The rules are as follows:

• The ladder is played from the beginning of October through to the end of March.
• Matches are played on Wednesday evenings.
• Each division plays fortnightly, weather permitting.
• There is an entry fee of £2.00 (or a lighting token) per person per round, which covers the cost of lighting and must be paid before playing.
• Rubbers are played on the courts and at the times specified on the match sheet. Players are responsible for checking what time and which court has been allocated for their rubber.
• Each rubber consists of three one-set doubles matches, with each player in a division playing one match with each of the other players in the division as a partner.
• Each match is played as a first to 6 set with a tie-break at 5-5 and traditional deuce/advantage points.
• Each player adds together the games he or she won in the three matches. The player winning the most games is promoted to a higher division. The player winning the fewest games is demoted to a lower division.
• If there is a tie, the promotion or demotion is decided by lottery.
• If a player cannot play one week, he or she must nominate a substitute player. Substituted players cannot be promoted, but can stay in the division or be demoted. Substitute players should be chosen from the list of substitutes, providing one is available. If another Winter Ladder player needs to be used as a substitute, the substitute should not be playing in a division more than three divisions higher than the player being replaced. It is the player's responsibility to find a substitute, not the organiser's.
• If a player fails to turn up for play, he or she will be demoted.
• A leader board is used to show how many points each player has obtained throughout the season. The overall winner is the person with the most points at the end of the season. In the event of a tie, appearances are taken into account.
