We have just fi nished the 2019 Symposium with a lot of photos in this issue. Thanks to the ERSA UK for all the support, especially logistics. Great job on that. Thanks again to all of the sponsors for all the prizes and samples. Please note our new address : Mark Maslowski ERSA Spinciceva 33 A, 21000 Split, Croatia Our managers meeting in Cambridge was focused on new benefi ts for our members. We have discounts from several string companies, including MSV, String Kong, Kirschbaum and several others coming on as soon as the logistics are organized. We also have special prices for managers, testers and tournament stringers for the new Head 3 in 1 tuning machine. A level up from the old machines with a better scale and swingweight to 0.5 for more accuracy. Also, special pricing on all the tools and equipment from Pro-t-one and member discounts from Stringingpedia. We are now looking into discounts from airlines, car rental and hotel chains for current members. Luxilon supplied everyone at the Symposium with a set of their new Luxilon Smart. I will gather info and write a playtest summary in one of the coming issues. We also have several playtests coming up with tennis strings so please write if you are interested in testing and answering some questions on our Play Test Questionaire. We also need to re-organize our squash and badminton testing teams. Please contact ERSA for more information. We heard in the presentation from SMS that stringing is growing despite lower racket and ball sales, so look how you can increase business stringing! Mark Maslowski ERSA PRO STRINGER // ISSUE 3-2019
