SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS & SUMMER HANDICAPS (SPONSORED BY O’HARE O’DWYER SOLICITORS)
Thank you to all players competing in the Senior Championships and the Summer Handicaps
The focus is now on getting the draws in the Championships and Summer Handicaps completed over the next two weeks. The Finals of the Summer Championships and the Summer Handicaps will take place on Thurs 19th, Fri 20th & Sat 21st September.
Please organise all outstanding matches asap. If you have restricted availability over the next two weeks and it is not practical for you to complete your matches please give a walkover to your opponent to allow the draw/draws to progress. This is particularly relevant where players are waiting for opponents due to unplayed matches.
When you are signing in at the Office let the member of staff know that you are playing a match in order that you can stay on longer than the usual 1hr time slot to complete the match if necessary.
PLEASE NOTE: Bookable courts are not suitable for matches. Under the booking rules courts may only be booked for one hour ie players cannot block book 2 hours for a match. If the court is booked on the system by others for the following hour and you have not completed your match you will have to vacate the court and sign in at Reception with the member of staff who will allocate you a court when a court comes free.
We will have reduced court capacity from Monday 16th September due to the upgrading of our lights and courts. This reduced capacity will not allow for ‘catch-up’ matches during the final week of the Senior Champs.
As a result all Handicap matches up to and including semi-finals must be completed by Sunday 15th September. Handicap finals will be scheduled by the Tennis Committee.
In the case of the Senior Championships all rounds up to and including the quarter-finals must be completed by Sunday 15th September. The Championship semi-finals will be scheduled by the Tennis Committee starting on Monday 16th September.
Finals in both events will start from Thursday 19th September and finish on Saturday 21st September – it is not possible for finals to be played after Saturday 21st September.
The Senior ‘At Home’ BBQ takes place on Saturday evening 21st September after the last finals have been played. Tickets are on sale in the office for €15. Great value for a steak BBQ and all the trimmings including desert. Sign up before Thursday 19th September – date numbers are needed for caterers.

SQUASH SHOES AND OTHER RULES
We must remind players that Shoes with Black Soles are not permitted even if they say NON MARKING. Squash Court 2 & 3 were badly damaged at the weekend because of Black marks.
Also we have had to remove chewing Gum, Stones, Food and other damaging items from the courts. It is very important that we respect the courts and refrain from bringing food, drinks and dirt on court.
LASTLY, some Juniors are NOT wearing their Squash Goggles on court!!!! It is so important that you ensure they wear their Goggles. It is compulsory World Wide until they reach 19 years and there is a good reason. If you are hit with a squash ball in the EYE it is very unlikely the eye will recover. If a junior is seen on court without goggles they will be told to leave the court. If they continuously refuse to abide by the rules of squash they will be reported to management.

Dear Members,
Please be advised that the long anticipated works on tennis courts will commence next Monday 16th September. New poles and new LED lights will be put up on Courts 1-9, while Courts 1-4 will also be resurfaced.
The works will be done in 3 stages, with first stage being courts 5-7. Court 4 will also be fenced off as it will be used for moving equipment etc. The next stage will be Courts 8&9, followed by the last stage Courts 1-4.
Please note, when going on courts 8&9 you will HAVE TO go around Bradshaws. There will be no other access until courts 5-7 are completely finished in few weeks’ time.
Projected timeframe for the completion of all the works is 7 weeks. We kindly ask all the Members to bear with us until the works are fully completed.
We look forward to the benefits of the new upgraded LED lights and newly resurfaced courts.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

SQUASH QUIZ SUCCESS!
The Squash Committee would like to thank the members, their friends and families who so enthusiastically supported the table quiz last Saturday night. We were bowled over by the generosity of local businesses and members who gave prizes and made donations. Gary Cooke was very entertaining as quiz master and the bar and lounge staff kept everyone well supplied! Suffice to say a great night was had by everyone and you will be pleased to know we are well on our way to raising the amount needed to refurbish Squash courts 4 & 5. A sincere thank you to you all!
