We are returning to holding our section AGM in person on Sunday, November 20, at 6pm, in the main clubhouse. Please put this in your diary/calendar. An agenda will be issued in a later newsletter. I really hope many of you will be able to attend, from all sections of the membership, across all age groups and playing levels, including non-playing parents of chld members. .
The courts will be professionally maintained tomorrow, Tuesday, using power brushing. The schedule is as follows:
Please be patient if your game is delayed.
This newsletter is being resent as some people didn't receive the original.
A celebration of our new floodlights will take place on the afternoon and early evening of Sunday 13th November. Please look out for future newsletters and posters advertising the timings and details of the following events:
3.00pm- Parent/Child Tournament (10&U). Email Marina to sign up.
5.00pm onwards:
Torch Relay
Lavarello Cup (11 y/o+)
After the success of the Laver Cup in London last month, the LTA has given us permission to host the inaugural Lavarello Cup. This is a tournament match between Cricklewood and the rest of the World. Teams will be chosen based on address and proximity to the club - should you wish to participate, please contact Matt on [email protected] stating whether you are based in Cricklewood or the rest of the World. If you think you are based anywhere else, maybe contact Angus for counselling. Now that Roger Federer has retired, what have you got to lose … apart from your dignity?

The new floodlights on the block of three courts will cut off automatically at 8:30PM on Saturday and Sunday evenings. This is accord with the terms of the planning permission.
We have a facility for storing unwanted balls. It's a 'recyclaball' bin to the left of the gate of the block of four courts. Please don't dispose of old balls in the regular bins.
The new floodlights on the block of three courts are now in operation. The control box is on the wall facing the courts near the noticeboard.This will significantly increase our opportunity for play over the winter, particularly midweek. Till now, at most two floodlit courts were available for general play and none when winter league matches were played (the other two were for coaching). From now, at least three courts will be normally available, and at least two when winter league matches are played.
To celebrate this new facility, we'll be holding an event on the late afternoon and early evening of Sunday, Nov 13. More details will be provided nearer the time.
As you may have noticed, all the floodlighting poles on the block of three are now installed and wired up. All that remains is to install the lamps themselves, repair the carpet around the poles on the court, and install the control box in the pavilion. This work is planned for Wednesday this week and will likely interfere with play. As the coaching programme is in full swing, please have patience if your play is affected.
