As we were expecting to collect just 2 awards for the ladies winter league division it was a lovely surprise to be handed 7 awards and presented to us by Greg Rusedski. Penni was very good at getting Greg to pose with us wearing our new jackets!
Next year the club will have 3 Summer Ladies Teams, 2 Ladies VETS Teams, 2 Mens Teams & 2 Mixed Teams, so there should be plenty of opportunity to play for the club.
This year, Linda White has retired from captaining the ladies first team and VETS after 40 years! Big shoes to fill, but she will continue to be match secretary and playing of course. Thank you Linda for everything.
So captains this year are
Julia Young Ladies 1
Nigel Daniels Mens 1st & 2nd Team with Phil Terry as Vice Captain for 2nd Team.
Jo Goodberry Ladies Vets 1
Penni Wray Ladies 2 & VETS 2
Sarah Hartland Ladies 3rd Team
Steve Wainwright/Linda White Mixed Team 1 & 2.
