All concerned have agreed that the final of the mixed pairs will be played at 5:30pm on Tuesday, April 20th.

Following discussions between myself, Smithy and most importantly our green keeper Warren, it has been decided that All games or practice at Swinburne Avenue for the next 5 days will be played EAST – WEST. Heavy traffic over recent weeks has seen the condition of the north and south ends deteriorate significantly and they need time to recover. This decision has not been made lightly and I ask all members to comply with this request and pass this information on to others who may not have seen this post.

Have a great Easter

Following the 5 day Circuit Breaker Lockdown, the clubroom are now open in line with government restriction on density limits and current mask wearing requirements.

Club Events are open and they are:

Events closing 6th February- entry forms are at Swinburne Avenue

• Pairs – Men’s, Women’s & Mixed
• Triples
• Fours

Events Closing 13th February – entry forms at Glen Street & Swinburne Avenue

• Chairman’s Trophy
• MCC Cup
• Proportional Hcp
• Men & Ladies Veteran Singles & Super Veteran Singles.

Dates for play for all events will be decided depending on entries received but will allow two week for early rounds to be played and 1 or two weeks for later rounds if only a small number of entries are received.

The dates that are set will NOT be suggestions or recommendations, they will be the final dates for play. Don’t wait for the last date available or walkovers will be awarded if something unexpected occurs.

I know this makes the participation in all events difficult but the time frame available does not allow for extended event dates.
