Right firstly, Id like to apologise for the "inappropriate" emails you may have
received from this group.
Ive changed the membership settings so new members need to be approved. So
should put a stop to this!
I've got a few questions for discussions/feedback amongst players:
1. Proposed Training Camp for 2008 - Centre Parcs and Norwich Sports Village are
being tabled as potential venues. Any thoughts on dates? Would a summer camp
suit, or a spring or winter camp? When would be best? Loads of players, loads of
practice, winning formula?
2. Pricing - Were the 2007 Tournament charges for players good value for money /
should we charge more/less in 2008 / how does this compare to other sports,
people participate in? Do you think a racketlon membership fee is a good idea
and how much should be charged for this, what could/should it include? Would a
per tournament license fee work v a season license fee?
3. 11 or 21, structure/categories of events? Hard to have age and band as
players tend to enter both creating a difficult schedule and sometimes too tough
on stamina? Whats the optimum - one day 11 tournaments? Say 8 a year? Two day 21
tournaments, 4 a year? Stick to one scoring system? Is 15 ok? Whats best?
4. Anything else……..?
In the interim period between now and January we are identifying which of these
ideas are best. 2 Main Priorities continue to be the set-up of the English
Racketlon association (imminent) - a letter of approval is with Sports England,
Companies House have the documentation. And up to date content on
racketlon.co.uk - which is still being worked on.
Cheers
Keith
