IWBA Levels Tournament 2009/2010
Posted by: | CommentsPlease find attached an entry form for this season’s(2009/2010) levels tournament which is being held at the end of November.
The doubles will be on Sunday November 22nd and the singles on Friday November 27th 2009 with all the finals on Sunday November 29th 2009.
Whilst it is hoped to run a plate competition, we have very little court time available so a decision will be made once the entries are known.
I would be obliged if you could circulate these forms around your club.
Hope you are able to enter.

LEAGUE WEEK 8 (14th – 18th Dec)
Posted by: | CommentsIt has come to my attention that as this week is so close to the festive season, there are likely to be a number of issues with both hall and player availability. Having given the matter some thought, I feel the best course of action is to rule as follows:-
All league matches that are scheduled to take place during week 8 (14th to 18th December inclusive) should be re-arranged to mutually suitable dates towards the end of the season – unless both teams agree to continue with the original fixture date. Any matches re-arranged under this ruling must be completed by Friday 2nd April 2010.
Could Club Secretaries please inform me of the new dates of any re-arranged matches in order that we may update the fixture list on the web-site where appropriate.
