COVEll. STORY

No , this month's Newsletter cover is not the new one promised i n the January edition, As a matter of fact the cover for last month wasn't really last month ' s cover either. It cannot be said that on us there is a consplcuoUS absence of flies, as once again we have been caught with our plates down (at the printers) . However we have been assured that next month there will definite­ly be the new cover or a new????????

Good news for squash players - the booking fees for squash have still not been implemented owing to temporary non-availabi1ity of the stickers or stamps essential for the (we hope simple) system. Obviously, a~ due advance warning has to be given in the matter of prices and price increases, it SEems we can look forward to a few more weeks of free squash booking. And now for the bad news, . . , It's also on the cards that the controversial third court will be delayed, as John Weymouth, the power behind CI ub squash and the th i rd court, has I eft Thailand. John, who did so much for the Club in general and squash in particular will be sorely missed.

Bad news in the bar too, beer prices went up without warning, though perhaps we should consider ourselves lucky to have had any beer at all, as it disappeared from the market for a period The darts team are trying to adjust their optimium Amarit level and have even been trying scotch, which is still available at the old price.

There is talk of impending increases in subscript10n and entrance fee rates too, so now is the time to persuade colleagues and friends who might be thinking of jo ini ng the Club, to take the plunge. It will probably be more expensive after the AGM, which WIll be held on 25 March.

Until then, think of the present subscription as a bargain and sip a still relatively inexpensive beer or a most reasonably priced scotch and write to the Editor with your views,

GETTING THE BEST OUT OF SQUASH

Two Schools of Thought

PART ONE: ON THE ONE HAND

Always arrive in good time - at least 15 minutes before you are due on court. This will give you time to change, go to the 100,

look for a ball (buy one if necessary) find out which court you are on and give the players on court fair warning that you are waiting to play. It also means that you get the full time you, and your opponent, have booked and incidentally, should help you to start the game in a composed state of mind . Don ' t make excuses for potential defeat. If you turn up to play with anything seriously wrong with you - such as a hangover or an injury - you show a total lack of consideration to your opponent who has given up precious hours in anticipation of a hard game, When there is no marker, a player should call the score after every point. Try calling after every point. Try calling alternate games or agree that hand-in always calls the score,

Never question your opponent's claim for a let unless he has misunderstood the rules. If he has not genuinely thought he was entitled he probably wouldn't have asked. If you think he's cheating just don't play him again without a referee! If there's a referee let him decide without your advice, Without a marker agree in advance whether or not you will be play­ing 'penalty points '. Never ask for a 'penalty point' - your opponent should offer it and so should you. Don ' t complain about your bad play or explain why you're losing by muttering, talking or yelling at yourself - it will di stract your opponent and will spoil his enjoyment of the game. Neither your opponent nor the gallery (if any) will think much of you if you declare to the world at large that you aren ' t winning because you are: playing bad1y/unwe11/unfit/tired/drunk/1ate/ bored/etc. If your opponent is beating you he ' s got to be play-ing better than you; save your excuses for your spouse or lover (or both) - they probably won't care anyway, Don't leave the court during a game unless absolutely necessary to be sick for instance! Don't serve before your opponent is ready .

Don't stop between points to get your breath back . trate on the floor breaks the rules about play being and is likely to leave a slippery sweat patch on the Always give your opponent a fair view of the ball.

Lying pros­continuous floor .

Don ' t hit the ball hard at your opponent even if he is getting in the way a bit. Gently will do, and if he's offering you penal­ty points don't play the ball at all if he's right in the way.

Don ' t swing excessively or dangerously - and if you have dis­guised your stroke keep your swing to a minimum.

If in doubt - playa let. Never stay on court for one point more after your time is up if someone is waiting to play . Asking if you may 'just finish off' is only justified in exceptionally important games which are within 1 or 2 points of conclusion . The winner always buys the first drink. If the match was un-finished the player in the lead should offer to buy the first round. But avoid shouting out"what'll you have?"across the club­house to ensure that everyone knows you won. The loser will be feeling sore enough without having salt rubbed in his wounds.

Always be generous in defeat however niggled you may be about it. Your best bet is to say nothing till you've overcome the 1nJury to your ego. Then you'll probably come to grips with the fact that he deserved to win because he played better. Remember, even if you think you just had an off-day it 1S quite likely that he really put you under too much pressure for you to control your game. Even if you norma 11y bea t him 9 times ou t of 10 - the 10th time he's the better player. Tell him so. You don't have to believe it - just sound as if you do! He'll be pleased and is more likely to return the compl iment if and when you reap your revenge. If you play someone for the first time and he takes you apart don't ask for a repeat fixture even if you're convinced you could do a lot better. If he enjoyed the ga me and your company he may ask for another game. But i f you've ignored any of t his sound advice its high ly unlikely t hat he will want to know about a return.

THE BRITISH COUNCIL PRESENTS: CLASSICAL VOCAL MUSIC CONCERT: THE SCHOLARS The Scholars are four men and a girl who happen to be one of the best singing ensembles of their type working in Europe now . The music that they sing is of a particularly pure idiom, unaccompa­nied by any musical instruments, and is based on the great European classic tradition of a capella vocal music. This music ranges from the clear, fanfare-like but intricate counterpoint of the Italian High Renaissance of Palestrina and his disciples, through the light-hearted madrigal tradition of the seventeenth century, and then the folksong movement, right up to modern songs and display pieces specially composed or arranged for this skil­ful and exciting group .

The men in the group - David van Asch, Robin Doveton, Michael Leighton Jones and Nigel Dixon - all received part of their musical training when they sang together in one of the great and most famous church choirs of the world: King's College Cambridge. After leaving the University around twelve years ago they decided to form a male-voice group concentrating upon classical renais­sance music . They broadened both their musical range and their appeal when, a couple of years later, they asked Shelagh Molyneux to join them. This change in the voice balance and pitch-range of the group has given The Scholars an even warmer and smoother tone admired by critics and audiences alike in the many countries in the world in which they have made successful tours since 1971. This year, The Scholars are engaged on a S.E. Asian tour with which they look ready to repeat their 1979 success in this part of the world. They will be performing two concerts in Bangkok, at the AUA Auditorium on Rajdamri Road. The concerts (and they'll be singing different music at each of them) will be on Tuesday 5 February at 8.00 p.m. and Wednesday 6 February at 6. 00 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the British Council and at Asia Books, 221 Sukhumvit. Prices are Baht 120 and 60 (Bht 40 concessionary rate to students) for reserved seats. So why not reserve your seats now? You'll be hearing beautiful music sung superbly by five attractive master-singers. What more reason do you need?

DARTS NEWS

The 14th Cathay Pacific Bangkok Darts Leaaue got underway on 17th January, with no less than eleven Li11ywhites turning up for the opening game at the British .. Embassy against Hobson's Choice. The host captain Bert Hobson had obviously had the most practice raising his right arm during the Christmas/New Year break, because he could only sit on the sidelines lifting his beer with his (still sound) left hand .

Prepared by weeks of Amarit training your favourite team rocketed into a 3-3 position at the end of the singles, but then conceded the doubles by 4-2. The first of the triples went to the visitors leveling the score at 7-7 . The rest of the games went to Hobson's for a 10-7 win, but all the games were close and could have gone either way.

Captain Roy, the Derby Duo and John were on form for the established players. but newcomers Bill and Terry showed that there'll be stiff competition to get into the team this season . (As usual the Brits won the beer game, with a final bull by Ingrid).

Practice nights have resumed every Sunday. establish your optimum Amarit Level!

We fielded over 40 swimmers aged from 4k year~ to 14 years . All swimmers did well and we were very proud to W1n back the lovely silver cup with a clear points victory of over 200 . 35 of our swimmers swam their best times ever and deserve co~gratulat i ons.

We are still hopeful of find-1ng a fu~l t1m: trained coach to keep the standard of the group at the h1gh p01nt that i t is now . We appeal again to members of the ~lub. to come and help us if at all possible. The swimming sect10n 1S very act ~ v: ~nd a very happy close knit group and one of .the few club fac1l1t1es that the children themselves can fully enJ oy .

SOCCER REPORT

With our official captain, away in Stormy Scotland (wot, no post­card?) t he onus of organlslng suffic ient players to gather together, at the correct time, and place, in a manner resembling a soccer team, was divided, and delegated to two exper ienced British Club players.

Balme "The Phone" raised the personnel, wh i lst Cripple'em Cobbett took charge on the field.

Thus it was quite surprising that a full squad turned up, on t ime, and on the correct day, but it was not so surprising that nobody had a footba 11 !

In fact, despite the importance of the game (B .C, vs Indians), no officials turned up either, so the League Organiser, who just happened to be there, hold ing a whistle, undertook to be referee, with no linesmen , to assist .

The game turned out to be a close affair, with both sides playing well, but once again, the inevitable. "soft" goa l was 9-iven away when our defence failed to clear a relative ly ha rml ess free kick, preferring to let the ball bounce around the penalty area, until an In dian forward arrived to claim it and slot it home .

Then followed high drama, with your fa vourite team, and pressurising the Indians, until eventua lly grabbed a goal from close in.

The Indians were more and more attempts .

now really on the brink and the desperate as H.M .T. went cl ose

f ight in g back, Roger Winter

match with

became severa 1

As the match became more and more eagerl y fought, so the referee's decisions (?) became more and more laconic, and fu r ther f rom the play .

So it was no surprise that the next goal, the vital goal of the match was a hotly disputed one, scored, after a goal mouth melee, by the Indians .

This gave rise to a little frustration, a switch of Codes, and some audience participation, none of which perturbed t he referee .

The final whistle blew some five minutes later with the score still at 2-1 in the Indians favour, with no casualties to report.

The next match was a 9.00 a.m . kick-off Sunday morning against Cosmos, who despite combing near-by noodle shops, pleading with spectators, the gate man, and some construction workers, could not ra i se a team.

Fortunately the British Club, had declared a "Bring Along a Friend Week" so we sportingly claimed the game, then loaned Cosmos sufficient players for a friendly game.

A friendly game it was too, played under ideal conditions _ just like real soccer, except for the mystery disappearance of the B.C . defender who left the field abruptly, to return ninety seconds later, to find his team 0-1 down and a little confused .

Then followed a series of incredible misses by the Empire Builders and a second goal from the depleted/augmented Cosmos.

However our team, responding to the jeer that they couldn't score in Pat Pong pushed in two to square things off just before the end.

This game was followed by a traditional type Sunday Lunch session, which everyone agreed rounded off a good morning's sport.

For our return match against the Germans our pre-match tactical talk was dropped, in favour of each player receiving his instructions in the post several days ahead.

Alas, due to the Bangkok Postal System, and some wrong addresses, of the team, only Chico received his instructions, and he still turned up, whilst two or three of Cobbett's ex-girlfriends got some funny invitations, to a strange party. ' ,

So the B.C. lined up in very steamy conditions presenting the strangest formation yet, against the Germans, wearing their "other" stri p, for no apparent reason other than to 1 et us know they have two.

Despite out defensive attitude, we continued in the vein of glvlng away silly goals without being able to score enough in reply.

The knowledge of this plus the debilitating conditions resulted in a tired, disjointed and rather subdued team leaving the field at full time 1-5 down.

TENNIS SECTION

A return to serious tennis following the year-end festiv i ties took place when the RBSC visited us in the second week of January with a very strong side .

The 18th of the month saw the start of the Annual Club Champion­ships which will continue until -. February 10th . A high-class entry of over 50 members ensures the success of this tournament, and finals day (Sunday February 10th 2.15 p.m. onwards) promises to be an eventful day.

. SQUASH SECTION

It's all 'go' again, with the reverberations of the small green ball against the back walls of the courts, as the 26th squash league is already under way . The response is again fantastic, with more than 100 players optimistic about replacing some fellow called Balme from the lonely little perch on which he is glued .

January has seen the sad departure section, John and Beth Weymouth, them elsewhere .

of the two Stalwarts of the but you will read more about

NOW, there will be an open day of fun and serious squash on Sunday February 24th, starting at 11.00 a.m. (or later for late sleepers) . This will be based on larger handicaps than usual, since so many players get so much pleasure seeing the faces of Alexander, Green, Kerr, Carter, Grogan, Stephens, Balme, Blanc (and their types) being vanquished at the game they profess to play better than the rest of us ordinary mortals . A grand barbecue will be held on the front lawn of the Club at around 4.30 p.m. to round off the day's fun, activity and general debauchery. All you need is your­self, a racquet (tennis, preferably) and possibly a pair of white shorts.

This event is open to all members of the club, in fact we hope the golfers, sWimmers,-rQotballers, tennisites, cricketers, back­gammoners, eaters and drinkers wil l all join us for a day of general fun and fellowship . Prizes for the event, and also for the winners and losers of the last two leagues will be presented at the barbecue .

So, please come along on the 24th February with families .
