The club uses a pegboard system to organise games during the main club sessions which operates as follows:

1) As you enter the clubhouse you will see our pegboard on the wall next to the telephone on the right, as well as a tray of wooden "pegs" with names written on them, one peg for each paid up member who participates in club sessions.

2) Find your peg, red writing for ladies and black on blue for the men, put it in the top of the pegboard and slide it down onto the top of the pegs already in the board.  There are also some pegs for visitors. If you are a new member there are blank pegs you can write your name on as a temporary measure.

3)The person who has been waiting the longest will be at the bottom of the pegboard and is responsible for selecting 3 other people from the first 6 pegs in the "window" for the next game; this person is also responsible for providing suitable balls for the game. If you are unavailable or decide not to play for any reason your peg will be put back into the top of the board.

4) Once this game moves onto court take the names out of the pegboard and put them on the window ledge next to the pegboard. Please tell the person whose name is now at the bottom that it is their turn to select players for the next game.

5) When players come off court, if they want another game, they place their peg back in the pegboard, winners first.

If it is your name at the bottom of the pegboard please arrange your game straight away and tell the others involved rather than wait until a court comes free, to avoid wasting court time.

Please do not put pegs into the board until the people concerned are in the clubroom.
