Nets for 2018 are arranged.

In general last year's nets attendance was good, but possibly a bit too good, leading to congestion on some weeks. As a result, this year we'll return to capping the number of people at six per week, as Gareth has done previously.

However, I'm hoping that this can be done in a relatively simple and fair way. You'll find on the Erratics website under fixtures the times and dates of 2018 nets. Simply input your availability; then nets selections will be made by the start of each month for the whole month. Selections will aim for people to attend a fairly equal number of sessions per month. Anyone available for one or two nets will get that and anyone available for three or four will get between two and four, probably 3ish.

Obviously if a person can't make a nets session it's not as crucial as if it were a match. So I'd suggest that, instead of using the `unsure' option, simply declare yourself available if you are unsure of being available. If that turns out not to be the case, either relinquish your place, and it can hopefully be reallocated, or try and swap places with someone else for a different week - under your own steam, please. Naturally, if you're approached about a swap, please be accommodating, where possible.

If this system turns out to be a disaster, or there's significant dissent, it will be abolished, possibly fairly quickly. It also probably won't be needed in April, when we have two nets.

For info, the first session is on Thursday 4th January; we have one net then from 6pm to 7pm. Sessions tend to be every Thursday at 6pm. Voids occur on 18th January, 15th February, 15th & 22nd March 2018. One void is filled on with an alternative: Monday 15th January. Finally, in April we have two nets, which move to Wednesdays at 6pm. Full details below and on the Fixtures page.

Cheers,

Ben.
