Club Sessions
Club Sessions
Winter Season starts on the day the clocks go back in October. Club sessions are Sunday mornings from 10.00am and Tuesday mornings from 10.00am.
Summer Season starts on Sunday in March when the clocks go forward. Sunday afternoon 15.00-18.00, Wednesday evening 18.00-dusk, Tuesday mornings from 10.00.
For those who want to play in club sessions a minimum standard of play has to be achieved. This approximates to being able to maintain a rally for six strokes. Any committee member will be more than happy to talk to you about this. For those who worry that they may be borderline, one or two private lessons may give the boost in confidence required to pass and to ensure enjoyable club play.
Open club sessions are held on the first Sunday of each month. No minimum standard required.
An appointed organizer will try to ensure balanced games for all participants.
Eligibility

| Four Brief Points to consider when organizing a club session | ||||||
| Balanced Games- choosing the pairs as well as the fours | ||||||
| Varied Games- Players get some games with players of their own standard but | ||||||
| also with players of a higher and lower standard. | ||||||
| Continuous play- by choosing fours before the court becomes vacant. | ||||||
| Integration of new players- by paying particular attention to their standard and | ||||||
| the games they are in. | ||||||

| The peg board is to be used. The first person to arrive at the club session should | ||||||
| get the peg board ready and organise the games based on who arrives first. | ||||||
