Back to Action?

Dear team,

The 1 week break has passed. Is the team ready to return to action this weekend? I will need at least 14 positive responses by Tuesday morning 9.30am before Clement gets the go-ahead to get an opponent and then the match invites should come to you by Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning, so please spread the message around your teammates. As you see, the decision will be a collective one, not by me or Clement alone.

Regarding attendance, I also understand some players prefer to communicate on a week-by-week basis due to your unconfirmed schedule, so I suggest it's time to do scheduling on a weekly if not monthly basis for your affairs. Proper time management is a very useful lifeskill that makes your work/play life more organised and it seems to always give you "25 hours" in a day instead of the usual 24.

Also if you consider from the organisers' perspective, they have to ensure that they have enough players before going ahead or else there's no point arranging a match as previously mentioned. It's not possible to take for granted that the every player show up in every match but if you are one of the few with an average turnup rate of 95%, . If not, I hope players will communicate their commitment for the month if not at least 2 weeks to allow us time and space to predict squad strength and plan for contingencies.

I wanted to inform everyone that this is how serious the organisers take their job, and I appreciate Clement's mature handling of the team affairs for the past few years. So to show continued support for him, I seek everyone's cooperation in future attendance issues. For the time being, please communicate your preference for this weekend.

Thanks.
