Club Players Training Trial Monday 02 Aug to 19th September

Dear SIA Squashers,

The above trial for the flexible booking facility for active club players will commence from 02th Aug to 19 Sept 2010.

The flexible booking facility will be made available to current active club players*. A list of players and their names is appended below.
Details of the trial and list of eligible active players will be posted on our blog at siasquash.blogspot.com

The aim of the trial is to enable active club players to book court time for practice during the span of the opening hours of the club's courts. This will enable our players to have better access to the club's courts and at the same time freeing the courts for members to book when they would have otherwise been blocked for club player training on the existing fixed training days.

Booking Proceedure

Each player may book 1 hour of court time up to a maximum of 2 hours per week with a limitation that a player cannot book 2 hours of court time back-to-back. You will require two club players names to book a 2 hour back-to-back booking.

There is a 11 hour maximum cap on the total court hours available per week for club player booking.

All cancellations to bookings should be made 24 hours in advance so as to free up the courts for booking by other members.

Players may call the SIA Sports Club Reception at 62148168 to make a booking in advance. The club's receptionist will check your membership number against the list of current active club players* before confirming your booking.
List of Active Club Players




The list will be updated and provided to the club on a regular basis and will be used by the receptionist to verify bookings by club players. Any queries on the list of active club players can be directed to Jeremy747@Live.com

To qualify as an active club player you must participate in one of the below tournaments in the previous calendar year or the current year:


World Airline Squash Tournament (WAST)

Inter Airline Tournament (e.g. SQ -CX Bilateral)

SSRA National Squash League

SIA Sports Club Bilaterals ( e.g. Chinese Swimming Club and Singapore Swimming Club Bilateral Games).

Online Calendar To Manage Club Player Training Days

Dear Squashers,,

I have set up an online calendar at this website address www.my.calendars.net/siasquash

Anyone can go to this website and put events in the calendar.

Just go there and add your name as an event on the days that you want to play. So when everyone puts in their available days of play, you can see from the calendar who you can call to arrange to play at the club.

We will try this out to see if it works. If not then I will delete the calendar when the trial ends.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a free online calendar where we can all put our names on dates where would like to play squash.
You can also visit the calendar to see who is playing on any particular day. Make use of the calendar and the upcoming club player training trial to arrange games/training sessions with other club players.
Can some of you test out the calendar to see if it works.
I have already put in my off days next week where I can play squash. But make sure you confirm with the person by email that the game is on. Putting your name there does not mean you will turn up but rather an indication that you are available to play.
