Tennis Syndicates

Basic explanation:

• Winter indoor syndicates allow groups of members (and non-members) to join together to block book a court for the 32-week winter period, which runs from the first week in September (starting Monday 5^th September) to the last week in the Easter holiday period (ending Sunday 15^th April 2012).

• Syndicates can choose to pay the entire amount up front to receive a discount of 5% or can pay in two instalments in September and November. First instalment due Sunday 4^th September. Second instalment due Sunday 27^th November.

• Every syndicate will have a “nominated payer” who will be responsible for paying the Club and retrieving the money from the other members of their syndicate.

• Most syndicates choose to have between six and eight members, splitting the total payment equally between themselves and operating a rota system to allow everyone to play. This gives some flexibility with regards to holidays and illness, which inevitably disrupts any rota system. However, the members of a syndicate can ultimately choose to have as few or as many people as they wish and split the payments however they decide.

• The available syndicate “time slots” are enclosed with this letter. Each syndicate will choose their preferred three times, and include these times and the names of every member of their syndicate on the enclosed form. This entry form needs to be returned to the Club by SATURDAY 30TH JULY. The Club will then conduct the Syndicate draw on the 31^st and will announce the results on Monday 1^st August. The Club will endeavour to ensure every syndicate gets one of its choices but cannot guarantee this.

• In the Syndicate Draw, syndicates which only contain members will be drawn first and receive their allotted times. Syndicates with a mixture of members and non-members will be drawn second, and syndicates with no members at all will be drawn third.
