These coaches would love to see more juniors especially come along to the junior sessions – we are closer to summer now, so do send your kids along!
SUMMER CAMP
James is to run a fantastic two day junior summer camp – dates to come.
TOURNAMENTS
We shall run an open mixed American tournament on 6th May. This will be an opportunity to encourage new members and if they join on the day they will receive a discount on fees.
It is hoped that this year we would try and run another men's American tournament.
COURT MAINTENANCE
Court Maintenance: we hope these issues will soon be sorted.
- Floodlight on court 1 not working and putting spikes on the lights.
- Additional stakes on car park end of court 1 to allow a bigger screen.
- Indicator light on court 1 not working.
FINAL WORD
The new committee is looking forward to the summer and to seeing you all on court as much as possible!
