Invitation to join the Vets team for summer 2026

Dear all

If you have this email, then the system believes you will be 55 or over by October. If that incorrect, please ignore this email!

We are planning to enter 1 or more men's doubles teams in the interclub Surrey 55+ league - ie playing teams from other clubs - it's great fun and you get a chance to play some competitive yet (mostly!) friendly matches.

At this stage, I'm trying to gauge how many of you are potentially interested, so we know whwether to enter 1 or 2 squads. To help you decide...

• There is normally 1 match a month from May until October
• Captains choose a team of 4 for each match from a squad of around 8-10 squad members. Typically based on who is available, whilst fielding the strongest possible team and also trying to be as inclusive as possible. So it can be quite tricky!
• You might therefore be asked to play about half the matches, so about 3 matches during the season.
• Each person will play 4 sets of doubles per match and matches tend to last 3 hours.
• The 55+ league is mostly midweek daytime, although for our home matches we sometimes persuade other teams to play on a Saturday afternoon.

Any other questions, please give me a shout - but at this stage, I'd just like to know possible numbers, so we can enter the right amount of teams. Could you let me know by next Monday 2nd March please? Simply reply to this email or DM me on 07812 074359.

PS you may not be aware, but we also have a Vets WhatsApp group, which is good for arranging friendly games and has also been known to include the occasional non-tennis related musing...if you want to join this just click on https://chat.whatsapp.com/FmdkywdjI185jl1sESqDPg

Cheers - Ian
