Club Night

• Thursday’s would be booked to accommodate matches so that disruption to club night is reduced

• From 21:00 to 21:45 team captains can organise match practice
• Match practice only ahead of confirmed fixtures in the next week

Etiquette is generally not an issue, however a reminder was given to ensure:

• Visitors and opposing teams always receive a warm welcome
• The peg board is explained to visitors and a visitor peg issued
• Shake hands at the end of each game
• Be aware of on going play particularly if you walk behind a court
• Look after the shuttle and do not slide under the net after a point
