Wimbledon Ballot 2018 Just a reminder to ensure that all eligible members of Busby Tennis Club have "opted in" to the Wimbledon Ballot for 2018 - the deadline is 23rd Feb 2018! Please Opt in even if you don’t want tickets. This helps the club maximise the number of pairs of tickets we receive. If you want to "opt in" but are unsure, then here are some guidelines: a) You need to join the LTA - no cost for basic membership. To join go to www.lta.org.uk. Please ensure that you are linked to Busby Ltc. b) Once you are a member they will send you a link for the Wimbledon Ballot, be sure to "opt in". They will send you a confirmation email. c) "Opting in" is free & does not commit you to any cost. d) The more Busby members "opt in" the more tickets the Club will be allocated for the event. e) Later this year the Club will be allocated tickets based on the number of our members who have "opted in". f) Busby members may then take part in a draw for the tickets. Successful members can then decide whether they wish to take up the tickets. It is at this stage that payment is made to the LTA for the tickets. Tickets cannot be obtained & then sold on - this would disqualify Busby LTC from all future ticket ballots. Any unused tickets must be returned to the Club for other members to use.

All members are encouraged to attend and have their input to the proceedings. It normally lasts around an hour. There may even be some home baking left over from earlier!

All donations of home baking and mince pies very gratefully accepted. £2 coffee and cake adult. £1 drink and cake children.

Sorry folks. Friday night’s Fish n Chip night (17th Nov) has been cancelled due to lack of numbers. We’ll plan another event for early next year once all the Christmas and New Year festivities are distant memories and you’re all looking for a good night out again.

Our final Ragbag uplift is scheduled for Wednesday 15th November. Please donate any unwanted clothes into the big Ragbag bin in the clubhouse to help boost club funds. Let’s make the last donation our best. We’re looking into other options.
