It has been a good start to the tournament, with everyone turning up, and matches running pretty much to schedule.
Looking forward, I am working through the schedule for the first week. I will occasionally have to ask some of you to play in 2 consecutive matches, but only where absolutely necessary.
Today's star has to be John Braint who managed to not only find the 2 balls we had hit out of court during the warm-up, but also the long lost Oadby vineyard, last seen in Roman times.
See you all tomorrow.

Quick note from the organizer
I've amended the draw and schedule a little, but anyone affected has been informed.
I'm sorry for a few teething problems, and to those who where omitted from the draw. Hopefully everyone has now been entered for what they wanted. We didn't quite manage to get everyone partners for all the events they wanted, but we did what we could.
Could we please ask everyone to have as short a knock-up as possible as the scheduling is a bit tight.
The weather is looking good for the weekend at least, so if you are playing have a good game, and if not please come and support or barrack.
The schedule for Monday will be published on Sunday evening, so please look out for your next match.

Other Stuff
Tournament fees are payable to Anthony Pollard, please, asap during the tournament.
He will also be taking numbers for the BBQ on the final Saturday (£6 adults, juniors £3). We will collect payment for this later in the week. Steve Ireland and the Van Der Byls will be headlining that night. There will be a couple of open slots available for anybody else to get up & perform (sing, dance, tell jokes, do magic tricks etc)
The BBQ is open to all club members, family and friends.
Please make sure you have a can of decent tennis balls for each of your matches. Cans are on sale at the club for £4.
A full catering service will be available throughout. (Winners usually offer to buy their opponents a drink !!) Hot meals each evening - menu to be confirmed on tournament website.

Also, as most matches are starting at 12 noon on the opening weekend we will be serving bacon or sausage baps rather than the Big Breafast.
