Mark I personally think the lack of turnout is because people forget the presentation night is on this could be cured by having the night a bit closer to the end of the season.
That's the point that I was trying to make ! My suggestion would give nobody the chance to forget . I am in total agreement with "soon to be crutchless" Nuttmeg !!

I agree . . They have done this for quite some time in the Tolworth league and over there it's a waistcoated affair . .
. . the only reason I wore shorts and flipflops was because I was practicing in there the day before and it was sweltering, as again it was on the Saturday . . And I look premier in whatever I wear . . I almost wore the yellow belt for The Power but it didn't go with the t-shirt I had on . .
No Armani No Punani!
Just for the record, the singles final was supposed to be a fully seated affair with an official Referee, but unfortunately due to miscommunication with Rileys staff and Bob Todd being unavailable for most of the lead up due to family illness, nothing really got done.
I'm just glad that people can see how good a Singles final on Preentation Night can be, even if it wasn't organised as well as was hoped.
In fact, I found it absolutely disgraceful that at gone Midday on the Saturday afternoon, the only person who was there to get the hundreds of trophies set up was Peter Brooks. Danny and Ben from Rileys ended up hauling the 20+ boxes of trophies out of the office and started setting them up before Jason Cook arrived to help out a bit later.
There seem to be quite a few Committee Members who seem to think their jobs consist of sitting at a table twice a year for meetings. The job of sorting out everything for Presentation Night should be a necessity.
Rant over. I hope the Presentations can be the massively successful and elaborate night that I've heard so much about. Good luck Mark et al.
