In December 2016, the Committee decided that all costs (ie court hire and shuttles) were to be split between the two teams involved.
So each cup game will have costs split between the two teams.
If any club wanted to organise charitable fundraising events there are a couple of posters below from Cancer Research with some ideas.
We’ve had 10 teams enter this years cup competition and it will run as a knock-out competition.
Matches start week commencing 15th January and the handicapping will be done the Friday before that weeks matches so teams *must* send their players list to Rick Smith by 5:00PM.
The usual little brown envelope (Not to be opened till the end of the match) will be sent with the score sheets.
The score sheet in blue is the official one and should be returned to Jean in the usual way.
The cup finals will be played week commencing 30th April and that will also be the end of the season.
The draw is listed below:
