CANCELLED - NORTHANTS LTA OPEN TOURNAMENT (SENIOR) 29TH & 30TH SEPTEMBER 2007 - CANCELLED

It is highly regrettable but the Northants Open Tournament planned for the weekend of 29/30 September has had to be cancelled for the time being. The reason for this is the low level of entries. The committee running the tournament reluctantly took the decision as late as they possibly could in the hope that more entries would be received and they would like to hear from clubs about running the tournament at some time in the future.

I would therefore ask you to contact the LTA office by e-mail or letter to advise whether your members want this tournament. I was under the impression from conversations I have had with tennis players since taking over the Chairmanship that a Northamptonshire tournament was what players wanted. This sadly does not seem to be the case judging on the level of entry but if there is another reason why members did not enter, ie. time of year, timing of the tournament itself, venue, then I would like to hear from you.

I know in the past the LTA in Northamptonshire have been criticized for not doing enough for adult players and if there is something we can put right for our members then we, as an LTA Council, want to hear about it. I just feel that there should be better communication between club and Council and that is why copies of the Council's minutes are circulated to you.

If we do not receive any feedback from the clubs regarding this tournament then the conclusion will inevitably be reached that there is no demand for it.
