MTTC Practice in Future

Jeffrey and Wilfred will take care of the MTTC stored-value card for the ttClub during Andrew’s handicap for the next few months. After having talked to Jeffrey on the replenishment of our MTTC stored-value card, we would like to propose/implement a new charging scheme for attending our Saturday practice/exercise at the MTTC.

Herewith below are the events for your reference and perusal:

1) started our ttClub with MTTC stored-value card after having accepted Raimondi’s tournament in April 2012 (it was postponed to July);

2) participated events since then: a friendly game with LSC; a fundraising tourney by the Lions Club; and a friendly game with DBS;

3) to attend the joint-school tournament on 10th August 2013 (9 schools with 12 teams);

4) to attend the tourney by Lions Club this year;

Propose and implement the following as of today:

5) member and/or non-member will pay $5 for each practice session;

6) member has privilege to prepay a lump-sum of his choosing, thus, he does not have to pay in cash every time;

7) thus, we can build up a slight surplus at the end of each replenishment to fund various tournaments and/or other incidental expenses for the team;

8) a detailed attendance account will be kept as usual;

9) the one-time $10 credit will be credited to the personal account of Bill, Michael, John and Andrew, due to their infrequent attendance (=< 8 sessions); and

10) hoping this new charging scheme can attract more participants from now on.

ttClub update as of NOV24

Much thanks to Wilfred, our captain’s organization of the games and suggestion of the Carmelina that we shared a wonderful evening; enjoyed an Italian dinner; chatted among ourselves and spouses alike; and greeted each other with a happy and prosperous Holiday to come.

Yesterday, Andrew played and lost 0 to 3 to Jeffrey which concluded the round-robin game.

Last night, it was resolved that, to be fair with everyone, a credit will be given to those who has not come often enough at the MTTC during the past pay-period, i.e. from the 4th August to 24th November 2012. Thus, Bill, has come 6 times and will be credited with $10=$40-$5×6 when he renews his membership. As of today, I have collected six (6) renewal dues of $40 each.

It has always been a busy period during the Christmas festivities. For your information, Chris, Wilfred, Jeffrey and myself have confirmed their presence for practice on Saturday, the first of December; and at which time, I shall replenish our MTTC value-card with another 100 points which will last for another 3-4 months.

Round-robin games starting NOV03

With Bill and Dickson unable to join us for the round robin games among ourselves and after having talked to Wilfred on the grouping, we agreed to move WIlfred from the GroupS to the GroupY as depicted in the attached chart for your information and perusal.

Cathy Kan has kindly agreed to join the games and I hereby allocate her name under the GroupS. John & Cathy will not be able to start on NOV03; and we should have enough time to complete the rounds by NOV17 or an extra evening on NOV20 if and as deemed necessary.

The playoff will be started on NOV24 and expected to be completed on DEC01; and at which time we are going out to have dinner together with our spouses.
