We have heard back from Holmwood House and it's easiest for me to just copy their response to you below. Key points:
- Training will be on Wednesdays from now on and at a slightly later time.
- Don't worry ... the cost of nets will be paid by the club!
- Please note & observe all other conditions - we are their guests
Given the state of the grounds yesterday and with lots more rain forecast I think Wednesday is highly unlikley but will let you know if cancelled on Tuesday.
We will get there soon!
Richard Parker
Youth Chairman
Dear Mr Parker
After liaison with the Headmaster, PE staff, boarding staff and grounds
staff, I can confirm that we can accommodate your request for your Youth Section
to train on Wednesday evening from 6.45pm to 8.15pm in 3 of the nets, and
the practice ground marked as squares in the area to the right of the entrance
to the Sports Hall, known as Barbours.
Please note that I have changed the evening to Wednesday in accordance
with your request, in order that you may use the
field as defined in addition to the nets, and altered the time to ensure no
overlap with school pick up traffic.
The terms and conditions of this letting will be detailed in the letting
agreement which I will provide next week, and I summarise the main points
below:
·
the letting is for
the months of May, June and July 2012
·
nets will be charged
at £15 each
·
entrance to the
school is via the second entrance which is clearly marked as the entrance to the
sports hall
·
parking is in the
sports hall car park
·
toilet facilities
will be in the sports hall
·
no access is
permitted to Holmwood House grounds apart from those detailed in the letting
agreement
·
the school retains
the right to cancel the letting should weather render the nets and/or field
unplayable
As you may imagine, you would have been unable to practice in the nets or
on the field last week due to the weather, and a decision whether the letting
can proceed next week, w/c 07/05/12, will have be taken by Holmwood staff when
we return to school next Tuesday. I do hope the weather improves shortly to
allow all practice and matches to proceed.
Please confirm if you would like to proceed with this letting or whether
you would prefer the Tuesday evening at the same time, but with access to only
the nets.
I look forward to meeting you, hopefully this week, weather
permitting.
Kind Regards
Fiona Marlow
