93 players, 11 events, 143 entries.

Just a reminder that forms are due in by Tuesday 20th August 8pm. Please either download it from the club website and then e mail it as an attachment to info@oadbytennis.co.uk or collect a paper copy from the club and put it in the orange folder in the post box by the back door. If the clubhouse isn't open put it through the letter box into the kitchen. (Please don't just leave forms on a table or on the bar as they tend to go  missing !!).

We need forms from everyone  who wants to enter please. If you do have limited availability please restrict the events you go in for or we may have problems scheduling your matches..  If any questions at this point, please e mail them to info@oadbytennis.co.uk.

If you are a bar or catering helper, Sally and Louise will be contacting you regarding duties during the tournament.

If you are new to the club we would encourage you to take part. During the tournament fortnight, it is likely that all courts will be in use at weekends and evenings (with the exception of one court on Sunday mornings) so there will not be the usual mix ins on Mondays or Wednesdays. Taking part will not only enable you to have some competitive play, but will also enable you to meet some other club members and enjoy the atmosphere of our annual tournament.

For information, we run a full catering service each weekend and during the evenings with hot/cold drinks, snacks and hot meals each evening. So if you come straight from work there is no need to go hungry ! It is also a club tradition that winners offer to buy their opposition a drink after their match.
