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.

Attendees (4):Jill ArmstrongMike BaggaleyRobbie FrickerStephen Gutsell
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.

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.
