Some weeks there may be a night when none of the teams is playing at home, so that night is then normally available for practice sessions.
However, there may be occasions, particularly later in the season, when these dates are needed for rearranged matches.
Please see the separate Practice nights page for an up-to-date list.
Anyone wishing to make use of these dates for practice or to rearrange matches should contact me first.

As there are no home fixtures on Monday 12th or Tuesday 13th, this are available for rearranged matches, or for a practice evening from 7.30 to 9.30pm.
The summer practice/training sessions have now finished, as the sports hall is required by the college for enrolment.
The new league season will start on 12th September.
For the 2011/12 season, we will be entering an extra team in the League, bringing the total to 7, and with other clubs also entering additional teams, the League will be at its strongest (numerically) for many years. As a result, the fixture schedule will need to be expanded to fit in the extra matches, and the season will now begin in the week commencing 12th September 2011.
There will be three divisions of 11 teams in each, and NO teams will be relegated from last season.
Details as follows:
| Club | Div 1 | Div 2 | Div 3 | Club Total |
| Argyle | 1 | 2 | 1 | 4 |
| Formby HT | 3 | 1 | 1 | 5 |
| Paraplegics | 1 | 1 | ||
| Formby TTC | 3 | 2 | 2 | 7 |
| N. Meols | 1 | 2 | 3 | 6 |
| Southport | 1 | 3 | 3 | 7 |
| St. Teresas | 2 | 1 | 3 | |
| Division total | 11 | 11 | 11 |
Cheer up lads, you won!
Four members of the ‘F’ team squad triumphed on Tuesday evening, beating Formby TTC ‘C’ to win the Gunson Plate handicap competition.
Bob Hale, Nick Hale, Dai Davies and John Davies (no relation) could look a wee bit more cheerful, after a fine win against the 1st division side!
Benefiting from a 300 point handicap, Southport needed to take on average 3½ points per set to avoid defeat. They got off to a great start, with Dai taking 28 points from the Formby number 2, Graham Turner, and John taking 28 off the number 1, John Langton, putting Formby well behind the required rate. Nick and Bob scored 23 and 24 against Craig Lowe to consolidate the position, and after this Formby just couldn’t catch up.
In earlier rounds, Kiko el Hadidy, Steve Horn and Pat Boylett also played their parts along the way.
See the Photo Gallery for more pictures.
The ‘F’ team has reached the Final of the Gunson Handicap Plate competition, to be played on Tuesday, 29th March at St Teresa’s Club, from 7.30pm.
Their opponents will be Formby TTC ‘C’ from Division 1. The starting handicap of 300 points means our ‘F’ team needs to get 141 points over the 40 sets to be sure of winning.
Why don’t you come along and lend your support? It should be an interesting evening.
Matches to be played in the week commencing 14th March 2011. Handicap points shown next to the team receiving the advantage.
