With the conclusion of the WP Grand Masters Winter League, we move into the final preparation towards GM IPT 15-17 Oct. Congratulations to the Black team that won with 27 points. Also, congrats to Clint, who scored the most goals. See both tables below.
BUT NOW… We must look forward. And there are 3 points (as in one more than 2) that you need to consider and respond to.
1. Games Leading up to IPT
For the next 3 weeks, there will be two games at the times we have got used to 18:15 for 18:30 and 19:15 for 19:30. Two teams will be made up of the players that are going to IPT in Oct, and the rest of the players will make up the other sides. The number of sides made up will depend on the response we get to this email. For all none IPT attendees, we need to know if you are available to play Monday 27 Sept, 4 and 11 Oct.
CALL TO ACTION: Email secretary.at.wpgm.co.za by Wednesday night with a yes or no.
For all those that are attending IPT, we assume the answer is Yes. The captains/managers will be contacting you shortly.
2. Dispensation form
Those players not going to IPT but who want to be considered for selection for Grand Masters World Cup Tokyo 2021, must apply for a dispensation to miss the trials in October IPT. Any that requires dispensation, would you please email the completed attached form to Rob or secretary.at.wpgm.co.za?
3. Summer League
The scheduled start of the Summer League is the first week of November. We need to know are you available, which is preferred, Monday or Thursday? Once we have availability numbers and preferences, we can plan around that and ensure the WPCC fields are available.
CALL TO ACTION: Please email secretary.at.wpgm.co.za by the end of the week. In the email, include Yes with days or No.
