More presentations on the 9th March 2022. Top Ladies’ award for 2020/2021 went to Christine E , whilst the Men’s award went to Les F. Well done to both.
Secretary Stuart also presented small thank you gifts to the session organisers Ann and John H who do so much of the administration to enable our sessions to take place. We also said a big thank you to those that set up and put away all the equipment at the start/finish of each playing session.
On Wed 26th Feb 2022, two awards were given. Firstly the attendance award medals for the 2020/21 season: the Ladies’ winner was Christine E., the Men’s went to Phil W. These would normally be presented at the annual luncheon which had to be cancelled due to Covid.
Then a first for the club. A Hot Shot had been achieved on the 17th Nov 2021 so today was the first time a Hot Shot scroll had been awarded at the club. The recipients of a certificate were Beccy, John and Phil M.
Here are the happy members.
As normal we started with a photo and ended with mince pies. Thanks to all that came and let’s hope we can start again on Wed Jan 2022.
Wishing all a very happy and healthy 2022.

Here is a photo of the happy band.
Many thanks to Terry who is making all the arrangements.
Well it’s August 2021 and we are now back up and running with all mats in use and 3 sessions a week, let’s hope it stays that way through the winter.
All sessions are as shown below.
We still have the ESMBA Covid safe club status, so our members can be assured we do everything to ensure their safety.
Many thanks to all the members who have attended the restricted periods over the last 18 months, from comments made all our precautions worked and members felt very safe.
Session times are:
Monday 2pm to 4pm
Wednesday 2pm to 4pm
Thursday 6-30pm to 8-30pm.
Whilst our membership has held up very well, we can now look to take on a limited number of new members, so pop into one of our sessions and have a chat if you are interested.

Devizes were great fun to play against and playing on different mats gives our players experience. The refreshments afterwards was excellent (as was the bar) and all in all a great evening was enjoyed by all. So a big thank you to all at Devizes Short Mat.
Your very clever secretary? forgot his camera, but at least managed to remember his phone, so the pictures tend to be on the panoramic scale!
We look forward to the return match.
The Club was represented in its first ever foray into competitions, they received a warm welcome and found they were up against County and National players.
However they gave a good account of themselves and managed to win one game.
