PAYMENTS BY DIRECT DEPOSIT TO THE BRTA BANK ACCOUNT
A number of clubs are now taking advantage of the ability to make payments via bank transfer direct to the BRTA bank account. If you wish to use this payment method, would you please note that it is essential to include a description with the bank transfer so that it can be identified. The description should include: 
(1) the name of the club (abbreviated if necessary), and
(2) what the payment is for, for example team fees or an invoice number.
An email should also be sent to treasurer@baysidetennis.asn.au giving details of the bank transfer payment made.

Any amounts which cannot be identified will be held in a suspense account within the BRTA accounting system.

ADVERSE WEATHER BY-LAW
The paragraph in By-Law 12 regarding adverse weather was amended at a Special General Meeting held on 17th October 2011. The amended wording is as follows:

"In the case of wet days, the away team Captain may contact the home team Captain or authorised representative of the home club, to determine if their courts are playable that day. If both Captains agree to abandon play for the day, the home team will advise the Association that the game was a washout and points will be divided equally between both teams."

Under the previous wording, both teams were required to attend at the venue, and play could not be abandoned until 60 minutes after the stipulated starting time.

The amended by-law is effective immediately. Note that the visiting team should not contact the home team until 1 (one) hour before the starting time of the match.
