County restricteds 2005

[Cheung]

It's a long shot but does anybody know when the dates for the county restricteds next year. i.e. which weekend?

[Neil Nicholls]

I don't know, but if I had to guess, I would say the weekend of
Saturday 1st October 2005

thanks Neil.

Looks like I won't be able to plan a visit around then. ;)

Ynexfan..Thanks.

:)perhaps you can guess how I know the medical system in UK very well;)
(yes, I know it sounds rather far fetched for a person located in the Far East to give medical advice on the UK system)

Can I guess :D oh go on, let me guess.

[Cheung]

Can I guess :D oh go on, let me guess.Must be that Glaswegian sense of humour of yours coming to the fore :)

Now it looks like a good chance of me visiting UK again and even possibly entering the restricteds. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I shall be visiting Oxford, anybody good clubs around there?

[Neil Nicholls]

Won't you need to have been a member of a club (in the previous year) affiliated to Oxfordshire County to be eligible to play in the restricted?

Staffordshire Restricted is on 1st/2nd October

[Neil Nicholls]

Seriously, is that the ruling now?
I'm not entirely sure.
There may be other eligibility criteria.
e.g.
You have represented that county at any time in the past.
You are a registered coach in that county

Aww, you were right. Just glanced at the entry form. One has to be a member of an affiliated club to be able to enter.

Anyway, I can't enter. The singles is played on the Friday 30th Sept and I'm flying in on the 1st October. I had hoped to arrive early morning at Heathrow and then go straight to the venue to play singles. Looks like it would not be worth the trouble.

Guess I should do rounds of the clubs instead then. :)

Or you could just get the name of a local club and play, I'm sure there must be someone here who would play in a club in that county and wouldn't mind giving you the name so you can enter :D

And i would only be able to play doubles which wouldn't be fair for the partner. Imagine having to play with some zombie with jetlag:p Hey, perhaps I could pretend to be an England player trying to fly around the world depsite a strike by British Airways :D
