A very warm welcome to a number of people who have joined us for the new 2022-23 season: Ed Cheam, Ollie Fountain, Andrew & Amelia Lake, Andrew Maunder, David Peters, Fiona Porter, Chris & Lucas Quinn.  
 

Court Resurfacing
The court resurfacing programme at CTC will begin on 16th May and the courts will be closed for 8 to 10 weeks. The resurfacing will give us smart new courts for a greatly improved playing experience.  Social sessions and team matches will be played at Dukes Meadows for the duration of the resurfacing. Courts have also been made available at the University of Westminster sports ground for individual members to play. Details of the alternative playing venues will be circulated very soon. Members will not be required to pay additional fees for these temporary playing venues.

CTC Ladies Team
Three cheers for Chiswick tennis club Ladies team, recently formed to play their first club match against Priory Park, Kew on 20th April. The team included Alison Rust, Katie Ellen, Lisa Woods and Amy Millar.  It was a great first match, lots of fun and there’s a plan to organise more matches against Priory Park and other clubs over the summer.

Renewals

Thank you to everyone who has renewed their membership for 2022-23.  If you've still not renewed then this is really your last chance - and your last newsletter!  Anyone who has not paid their new subs by the end of April will be removed from the membership list (and will miss out on the great new resurfaced courts!)

Best Wishes
