Hi everyone
Friday Club Night
– Along with Keith on Friday night, I worked for the first time since our return with some of our young beginners.
– I was encouraged to see how they are making progress and playing with a smile on their face.
– It would be a challenge for any young person to come into a club environment and participate in a sport you have never thought about.
– This young group get on so well and thanks to the work of Chris, Brendan and Keith are developing their skills.
– At the same time Euan was working with our intermediate group and engaged them with drills and games.
– Another group who thanks to Euan are enjoying the challenges he has been setting them over the past few weeks.

Hi everyone,
Friday Club Night
– Some players at the club are beginning to show signs that after a couple months of practice it feels like they have never been away.
– While for others frustration can creep in because one particular stroke is not working correctly or our decision making is not what it was in the past.
– We just need to be patient and continue work on what’s going well.
– We can take our negatives or weakness one at a time and work through them.
– The coaches are always available for support.
– We welcomed a new member Paulina and we say goodbye and thanks to younger member Mark Hamilton who gave TT a try but sadly it’s not for him.
– Many thanks to Rae Jack (Inverness TTC) who was in the area visiting and popped in to enjoy our club night.
Thanks
– To Brendan, Euan and Robbie for their support on Friday night.

Hi everyone
Friday Club Night – JWSC
– Very pleased to see our younger players now settling in to our club night.
– Many have just joined in recent months and we can already see them making progress.
– The confidence is growing and with additional practice at home we have seen their skills improve.
– We are starting to put in place more structured sessions to enable all player’s to develop their skills.
– These will take place at start of club night and be organised by one of our club coaches.
– However we will always finish the session with games so that players can practice the new skills they have learned and are hopefully keen to practice.
Thanks
– Brendan, Euan, Robbie, Bill, Keith and Peter McCluskey for their support on Friday night.
– We also appreciate everyone who is helping to set up and pack up equipment.

Hi Everyone,
AMC – Tuesday Club Night
– We are hoping to hear this week from Alistair McCoist Complex about the restarting of our Tuesday club night.
– A few members have already indicated they would like to attend both nights.
– If you plan to attend the club on a Tuesday night let me know.
JWSC Hall – Friday Club Night
– Could I ask for your assistance in supporting the coaches when arriving or leaving hall?
– Please register and have your temperature taken before moving around hall.
– Help clean tables, put in place table surrounds and nets & posts on tables.
– Before leaving hall help remove nets & posts and tables surrounds if required.
– Setting up tables can be a challenge and to avoid accidents – unless you are familiar with setting up tables – it’s probably best left to coaches.
Club Night Structure
– In the coming weeks we are looking to change the format/structure of our club night.
– The session will be setup with a view to improving players TT skills.
– An hour will be set aside for anyone who wants to participate.
– All players as a group will then come together to finish the session with games for remaining time.
– We understand this will not suit everyone and we are aware some members do not wish to participate and will accommodate their wish not to do so.
– The club wants to develop and improve the players TT skills and give them a better understanding of the game.
– If you have any thoughts let me know.
Thanks
– Thanks to everyone for their support in my absence over past few weeks.
