Dear [[firstname]],
Congratulations on being one of the lucky ones to sign up quickly for this Sunday’s Wimbledon Whites event. It was oversubscribed after only 2 days and we have expanded the event to now cater for 40 players. I still have 5 on the waiting list and two available on the day at short notice; so if you feel unwell on the day please contact me on 07766220275 as soon as possible.
We will be using all 10 outdoor courts including the grass and tarmac. I’ll do my very best to make sure you play on your surface of choice but please be flexible and bring some extra footwear suitable for all surfaces. Be prepared to play doubles and mixed doubles and to meet and play with some new players.
This is sure to be a great afternoon but please continue to respect the social distancing rules as some players including myself are living with vulnerable people at high risk.
There will be two even ability teams of 20 players (10 doubles pairs) and the pairings have been evenly matched too to ensure you all get some close matches.
The plan for the day; some courts are booked from 1:15pm, 1:30pm and 1:45pm so if you want to get a good warm up get down early. At 2pm I’ll assign you a playing partner, a court and some tennis balls for the first round.
The first round will be 3 full sets of FAST4 tennis (First to 4 games wins the set, at 3 games all a tie-break is played to 7 points, 2 clear at 6-6). Pairs gain a point for their team for each set won.
The second round will be a quick fire round of one FAST4 set with pairs drawn at random so be prepared for some interesting partnerships.
The final round will see you back with your first-round partner and will be 3 more full sets of FAST4 tennis if time allows or a shortened format if we’re running late.
Catering – please feel free to bring refreshments with you however Neil is organising a BBQ to be available from 4pm and the bar will be also be open. Can you let him know by replying to this email to help him have sufficient food for all.
Lastly, Manny Samra has very kindly offered to accept the challenge of being the captain of Team Simona and Jason Mansell the captain of Team Novak. Extra points may be awarded to those wearing white clothing and bringing Wimbledon items such as hats, towels, brollies, seat pads etc. Special prizes and points are also available for anyone brave enough to use a Dunlop Maxply wooden racket.
Kind regards,
Marc Hughes
