Apologies, I left out the price of the dinner dance: Adults £25.00 18 and under £21.50
August 18
The annual Dinner & Dance will once again be held at the Barnstaple Hotel, Braunton Rd on Saturday 11 September. 7pm start for 7.30pm. We have a disco, and a 10 piece Jazz Band has been booked, who will hopefully be able to perform this year - they were most apologetic last year as they had lost their drummer!
The sit-down meal will consist of a starter table, carvery and dessert table. Last year there were some concerns regarding the quality of puddings, this has been addressed and hopefully all tastes will be met. If there are any special dietary requirements please let Hilary know with the booking numbers and cheque.
Please ensure that all monies with number and names of people attending are sent to Hilary Adams by 4th September to: North Devon LTA

EX33 2EZ Cheques are to be made payable to North Devon LTA; all monies need to be collated per club and one cheque sent to Hilary with a list of names of those who have paid. She is not able to take individual monies or field telephone calls.
Georgina Loosemore and her partner will be our guests of honour, as you may be aware, Georgina is the new LTA Tennis Development Officer for Devon & Cornwall and this will be an ideal opportunity for you to have a chat with her about her job.
**********************************
If you have a trophy from last season it should be cleaned & polished and returned to Chrissy Walsh - via Tarka - by August 23rd.
NB. If there is no CLUB representative at the Dinner Dance for this years winners & runners - up, then no individual trophies will be awarded. This doesn't apply for this season, but will be discussed at the AGM

The Pete Stacey Cup Finals - Mens & Ladies will be on Sunday 15 Aug @ 10am. The KO Cup Finals - Mens & Ladies, will be at 1pm. Please bring food to pool - unless you agree with your opponents not to bring refreshments. Balls & squash will be provided.July 12
Please check that the score is correct before signing the score card. Also, please read the rules, especially for the Cup matches!
For next season, I am proposing that there will be a fine for any scorecard which causes extra work, hopefully, this will focus the mind a little more...........
May 18
Hartland Ladies have withdrawn from the league.
May 14
Please remember to inform me if a match is rained off, I am spending a lot of time at the moment chasing 'lost' scorecards, only to find that the match has been postponed. May 12 On Sunday 9 May, Chris Gill & Stephen Bishop won the John Walsh Tournament beating Sam Koval & Steve Jenkins in the final.
May 8 A few reminders re score cards..............please, please, ensure that all the details are filled in correctly it causes extra work for me, eg: if the card doesn't have the fixture date on, the first name is missing, the writing is illegible, the scores the wrong way round..................unfortunately, the snails eating the cards is out of any ones control! I will accept scanned in cards - you don't need to post the original to me. Also, don't forget to inform me if a match is rained off and then confirm the rearranged date within two weeks. For all those World Cup football fans even if England are playing, matches cannot be played after the fixtures date, but can be played before. Have a good season.................. Chrissy Walsh Apr 13 To all Captains: A reminder that if you wish to change a fixture then I must be notified before your first match or May 1 - whichever is sooner, the same applies to nominations. A third set is now only played in Division 1 - Ladies & Men - all other divisions have now reverted back to two sets only, although a decision has been made to keep the scoring the same for all divisions ie 24 points. In all divisions other than Division 1 the unplayed third sets will be shared by both teams, regardless of the final result, eg if a team wins in two straight sets the third set will still be shared ie 1 point each, or to put it another way all teams will start with 4 points. The reason for this decision is that there will be uniform scoring across the divisions, also, it is easier for me when fining teams, and the scoring system on the website doesn't have to be rewritten yet again. I will adjust the points on the scorecard if you forget to allocate the 8 points. It will make absolutely no difference to league positions. I will be away from Thursday 15 April until the May Bank Holiday so the website will not be updated until my return. NB Change of dates and nominations still need to be emailed to me as above - not on my return! Chrissy Walsh - NDLTA Fixtures Secretary
