Leagues subscriptions & England Squash registration - December 2009

As we approach half way through the season, of the 45 teams in the County leagues only 13 have paid their subscriptions. At the Committee meeting held on Sunday it was agreed any team that had not paid by the end of December would be withdrawn from the leagues. Teams needing an invoice or receipt contact me directly.

It was also noted that many team players have not been registered with England Squash, this make a dramatic difference to the grant we get from them. All club players should be registered but certainly team players.

Further to my mail a couple of days ago, the fixtures are now up on the League web site.

Any problems please respond back. I realise that there are only 10 days until the start and apologise for the lateness of the notice that you have been given for the courts, this was down to a slight technical problem with the software that now has been resolved.

We are still working towards the Herts Cup Competition and its fixtures, so watch this space.

Hi All,

Well, yet again we are here right before the beginning of the winter season. Yet again you ask yourself the question of “Do I, don't I”. Please, please do!

I have a couple of announcements to make that the committee would like to share with you.

AGM / Herts Closed

Firstly, the AGM for Herts Squash will this year be held on the weekend of the Herts Closed, just before the final match. As you are no doubt aware it is mandatory for at least one representative from your club be there and this year will be no exception, with any luck proceeding will be quick and painless due to people wanting to watch some great squash.

The exact location for the AGM is still being finalised, but provisionally I would like to share with you that is it likely to be held at Berkhampstead. Ah I hear you say – How will we all get from Broxbourne to Berko so that we can watch the squash? Well the answer to that as you may have worked out is that the Herts Closed is also provisionally booked in to be played at Berko this coming year, the date is to be finalised, but should be 22nd, 23rd, 24th January 2010.

Summer 2009 season

Thank you to all of the teams that entered the summer season, I hope you have had some good matches. I see from the leagues that there is an improvement in keeping the scores up to date from the previous season, which is great. I would like to tell all the captains in Div 1 that you have a way to go to catch the other leagues up in terms of keeping your scores up to date, which I am sure you will endeavour to do.

I would like to thank Mike Byrne for all his efforts in ensuring that the Ninenil system has accurate scores, without Mike's assistance this year, things would most definitely have not been as smooth.

There are still some outstanding payments from the summer season, attached is a copy of this mail that includes a list of all the teams that played in the summer, as you can se there are a few clubs that have not paid their subs.

As with all associations a major part of their income is generated from subscriptions, if these are not paid, then there is no way that they can operate, and Squash is no different.

All the clubs that have not paid by the beginning of the winter season will not be eligible to enter teams into the winter season!

Winter Season 2009 - 2010

I have managed to either place messages on people's voice mail or spoken to most of the clubs with regards to the winter season and hopefully have not missed anyone. If I have, then I apologise.

Hopefully by now you are getting your teams in place ready to make a commitment to enter for the winter season. Please can you confirm to hertssquash@btinternet.com , what teams you wish to have in the winter season by Sunday 20th.

Depending upon numbers it is likely that there will only be 4 divisions this year and the committee need to make a decision on this, a meeting is already set for that Sunday, so we must have all of your entries in by then. Provided that we can get all entries by the 20th Sep then the winter leagues will be start on the week of the 5th October, with the first match being Tuesday 6th October, if at all possible it would be good if you could all book out your courts for the first week and then cancel them if you are not playing at home on the first week.

By committee decision the scoring throughout the leagues will be PAR 15.

A new rule is being introduced by the Committee decision with regards to the ninenil scoring system. The rules are currently that the home team place their results onto the leagues and the away team confirm that they are accurate.

To aid in keeping the scores as up to date as possible it has been decided that a 2 week period be given to either the home or away team that has not entered their results before the score is deemed to be accurate and can be approved. In practice this means that if either the home team or the away team place their results on system after the match and nothing is confirmed for 2 weeks from the opposing team then the Herts Secretary will approve the score and this score will stand.

Registration of players

Last season I remember writing to you all to explain our need for all of the clubs and their players to be affiliated to England Squash as this affects Herts Squash directly in a financial capacity.

It is MANDATORY that this is the case and it is YOUR responsibility to do ensure this. Herts as a group of squash clubs CANNOT function without this and will DEDUCT points or potentially EXCLUDE clubs found to be abusing the system. NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE!

The club/captain will need to make sure that all their players are registered with England Squash and that they have a record of their membership numbers, because the committee will want proof of registration of team players from every club.

Well, I think that is quite enough from me for the moment and I look forward to hearing from you with regards to your teams for the winter.

If you wish to discuss anything with me, please do contact me sooner rather than later either via mail at Philip_Jenkins@btinternet.com  or on my mobile, 07866607277

All the best for now,
Phil Jenkins

  • Before opening the system to selected captains, the League insists that Team Captains take note that TEAMS MUST PLAY IN NOMINATED ORDER (see under CLUBS). The system will reject results where teams switch their order. The League says that team order may only be changed, on application, at the half-way stage at Xmas, and then only if agreed. Contact Phil Jenkins for further information.
