There is an update on the NeT website about the works in preparation for the tram extension along University Boulevard. As far as I can see, any complete closures are restricted to overnight, but the lane restrictions are clearly impeding traffic during peak hours.
Note also that the Robin Hood Half Marathon comes past the club (twice, once on each side of the lawns!) on the morning of Sunday 30th September. The race starts from the Victoria Embankment at 9:30 am, so will presumably pass us from about 10 am onwards. There is a route map here.
We hosted the Selectors' Weekend this year, in which four of our members: Beatrice McGlen, Richard Huxley (who managed it, making use of the floodlights in the warm evenings), Martin Beacon and David Brydon, played. Matt Holmes, from Bury, won it, beating Luc Berthouze in the final of the play-off.
As to the other events, congratulations to Paddy Chapman, who was runner up in the President's Cup just one win behind Robert Fulford, with Keith Aiton third. Miranda Chapman was 6th in the Chairman's Salver; we were unrepresented in the Spencer Ell Cup, and Ian Vincent ended at the bottom of the field in the Treasurer's Tankard.
