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.

The Winter Ladder will commence on Wednesday, 4th October. For those who have not played in this before, it offers friendly competitive doubles play on Wednesday evenings from the beginning of October to the end of March. Players need to be able to play fortnightly on Wednesday evenings, but can use a substitute player to cover occasional unavailability.
The ladder is mixed sex and is open to Senior, Intermediate, Country and Young Adult members of the club.Each division plays fortnightly, weather permitting.There is an entry fee of £1.50 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 may 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.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.
Start times will depend on how many members sign up to play.
Players are encouraged to use the bar and lounge facilities after play has completed.
If you haven't signed up on the noticeboard, you can sign up here instead.

The grounds at Basford are looking very good, thanks to the kindness of a few members taking time to look after an area of the grounds, but there are still several areas of the grounds and the courts themselves that require some maintenance.
To ensure the club is looking its best for Captains' and President's Day the following week, we will be holding a working party on Saturday 24th June from 10.00. Please bring any hand tools you feel would be useful, but do not bring any electrical equipment. For those members playing in the SMG, please start as normal at 9.00am, but for a period after 10.00 please spend a short period of time assisting others to rid the courts of weeds before re-commencing your games.
Many of us simply play tennis at the club, many for the clubs various teams, therefore the committee asks for as many members as possible to support the request to join the working party on the 24th as “we all” benefit from the high standard of the clubs grounds and facilities.

I’m not very well tonight so Steve Crofts has agreed to sub for Nicci Smith in Div5 and to organise tonight’s event…thanks Steve.
With a couple of key players missing tonight I am going to jiggle a couple of players around to ensure that each division is competitive. I will write the players playing in each division on the paper sheet in the clubhouse. Keith is going to move back up to Div1 and Steve Crofts is going to move up into Div2 to fill that gap. Andy Maughan will then take the place in Div3 left by Steve C moving up. Russell Ashworth has agreed to replace Steve Gutsell in Div2 in 2 weeks time and I will this week be making up the numbers in Div2.
Courts 3&4 are now playable and so we'll see the Div 4&5 players later this evening.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is saying that it might rain at 8pm tomorrow night and so if any of the divisions want to organise amongst yourselves to start earlier, please feel free to do so. Make sure that you have a court booked.
Booked Facilities: Court 3, Court 4 from 19:00 to 21:30
The courts were all perfectly playable last night and so Div 1,2&3 of the Winter Ladder will go ahead this evening. This will be the last set of matches this year. We’ll start again with Div4&5 on Wednesday 4th January 2023. Merry xmas and a happy new year to you and all your families.
We will be holding a Christmas Party at lunchtime on Monday 19th December following Monday morning social tennis. All welcome; please feel free to invite any past members who might like to join us. There is no charge, but please bring a plate of festive food for the buffet. Please sign up on the form on the noticeboard, indicating whether you will bring savoury or sweet food.
One end of courts 3&4 is white but NOT slippery and so it would be best for those playing tonight to turn-up and see how you all feel about playing. Can you get here for 6:30pm, please.
CANCELLED
Let’s see what the weather’s doing later. If it’s not raining we should be OK to play tonights matches. Please turn up to play UNLESS it is chucking it down. I’ll be at the club from 6.30pm
Slight drizzle but thanks to Mr. Crofts all the courts are playable. Ladder is going ahead tonight.
Weather’s been dry today so I expect the ladder to go ahead as planned, tonight. If we get rain, please turn-up and we will all make a decision together.
17:45. Rain has stopped for the evening so at present, we’re expecting tonight’s ladder will go ahead. Things are looking OK. Let’s all travel to the club and see what the courts are like.
The Winter Ladder will commence on Wednesday, 5th October. For those who have not played in this before, it offers friendly competitive doubles play on Wednesday evenings from the beginning of October to the end of March. Players need to be able to play fortnightly on Wednesday evenings, but can use a substitute player to cover occasional unavailability.
Players are encouraged to use the refurbished bar and lounge facilities after play has completed.

The summer ladder is a ladder of doubles play similar to the winter ladder, except that matches are not played at a set time and each match will consist of 3 short sets (first to 4 with a 2 game lead and a 4-4 tiebreak) to try to ensure that a warm-up and 3 sets can be completed in the 115 minutes of two adjacent slots on court 1 or 2. Matches will be played at a time agreed by the four competitors, who will need to book two adjacent slots (or started in one slot and finished later on) and they will have two weeks to complete their match. If you would like to join in the ladder, you can either sign up to this event or contact Mike Baggaley.

Members are cordially invited to the Captains’ and President’s Mixed Doubles Club Championships at 1 p.m. on Sunday 23 July. The event is open to all adult and intermediate club members. There is no entry fee, but please bring a plate of food for the buffet which will be served in the late afternoon/early evening. The bar will be open, serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. This is the main opportunity of the year for team and social players to play together and as the club has fewer female members, we would especially like to encourage as many ladies as possible to join in what we expect to be a hotly contested and enjoyable afternoon. Partners will be arranged on the day, so there is no need to enter as pairs. If you would like to join in this exciting experience, please add your name to the form in the clubhouse entrance, indicating whether you will be bringing sweet or savoury food.

The club is holding a fun day organised by Adam Fenton, Dean Eagles, Jack Eagles and Lois Connell on Sunday 12th April. There will be a junior/senior team tournament, doubles tournament, quiz to complete between games and plenty of fun. Juniors, seniors and guests are all welcome. The cost is £6 per person, with the proceeds going to the organisers’ friend Sue Callaghan who has queued in the Wimbledon Queue every year for the past 40 years. Due to poor health and being unable to work in the last year or two Sue told them that she will not be attending Wimbledon this year because she cannot afford to, for the first time in decades. Adam and the others want to help her to get to Wimbledon this year.Play starts at 1.30 and will last until about 4.00. If you would like to bring a plate of food, the aim is to eat before play at about 1.00.Please sign up on the notice in the clubhouse entrance, indicating whether you intend to bring a plate of savoury or sweet food.

The first match is Soft and Short, which is played with an under-arm serve and the ball must bounce before being hit (i.e. no smashes or volleys).
Next is Hold Tight, in which one player has a rope tied around his or her waist and the partner holds the other end of the rope. The point is lost if the rope is let go.
The third match is After You Claude, which is played in half the court with the players playing alternate shots, as in table tennis.
The penultimate match is One Serve. In this game there are no second serves, but if a serve is unreturned you get two points.
The final game is Pop and Out, which has every player fastening a balloon to the centre of his or her racket. If popped, the remaining games go to the opposition.
