Mid-Week Mens

Autumn 2020 - starting Wednesday 5th February

Captains All,

Firstly thank you for agreeing to be a critical part of the administration of our competition.

You have a critical role in not only looking after the best interest of your team and its members but to also act in the interest of our competition and contribute to its success.

We have 28 teams this season with byes only in C Sp & C Grade.

2020 Autumn Fixture

We expect to distribute paper copies along with scorebooks via the 'network' next Wednesday morning. Watch out for distribution at Glen Waverley & Burden Park social tennis. By all means contact me if you think that won't work for you and you have a better suggestion for collection.

 If you are a B Grade Captain you will be 'overwhelmed' by change with Wantirna joining our competition, well supported by some Glen Waverley players, hence the name -> Wantirna GW. Court usage pressures at St Christopher's will also impact you with the Saints having three teams trying to share three courts. The solution is that the Saint's Green team will play their home matches at nearby Syndal Tennis Club.

And just for good measure Glenburn are back replacing the Lum Legends.

Wheelers Hill have added a B Special team as have St Christopher's.

To help your communication with fellow captains a listing has been emailed to you, this time it includes Sub-Committee Members.

Guidelines

An updated edition will be circulated just prior to the first match on 5 February 2020. (The link below will be updated with these Guidelines.)

Of special significance and worthy of a read and discussion with your fellow team members are references to usage of emergencies and participation of females in our competition.

Thinking of our Fellows

With our average age drifting north and our perfect state of health heading south it is appropriate to think of a number of our members who have turned to the medical profession & hospitals in very recent times we offer our best wishes to Manohar Nivas, Bob Gibbons, Ian Archbold, Ron Russell, Andrew Van Neikerk, Terry Andrews, Russell Cooper & I am sure there are several more. We look forward to welcoming you all back on the to the court very soon.

Regards,

Lindsay Coster
MWM Convenor

 

Guidelines

Any questions about how the competition runs can be found in the Guidelines, issued July 2019.

Grand Finals are followed by BBQ lunch for all, and presentation of trophies to players representing winning teams and runners-up in each grade.
