A Personal Thank You From Viki Barton

Some of you may have noticed that I have not been at Easton Tennis Centre for some time. I want to sincerely apologise for the lack of communication and for my sudden absence. Unfortunately, I was unexpectedly made redundant and, as a result, have now left the centre. It has been a very difficult and emotional time, and I truly appreciate your understanding.

I spent 12 wonderful years at Easton Tennis Centre, and for many of you, our journeys there ran side by side for much, if not all of that time. Throughout those years, I was incredibly fortunate to share in so many special moments and to build friendships that I will forever treasure. My role at the centre was far more than just a job, it was a genuine passion. I feel immensely grateful to have spent over a decade doing something I loved, surrounded by wonderful people.

I would like to acknowledge the exceptional team I leave behind in Lauren, Ruby, Graham, Hayley, Letitia, Chris, Josh, Steve, and Neil. It was an absolute privilege to work alongside them. Together, we experienced countless memorable moments, and I remain incredibly proud of the dedication, professionalism and care they bring to the centre every single day.

I would also like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to the entire Norfolk tennis community for making me feel so welcome. It has truly been a privilege and an absolute pleasure to meet and work with so many incredible parents, players, and coaches. The warmth and support I’ve experienced not only from Norfolk, but from families across so many different counties has meant so much to me. I will always be grateful for the friendships, memories, and shared love of the game we’ve built together.

Whilst I hope to you see you all again, I didn't want to leave without expressing my heartfelt thanks. Each of you played an important part in making my time at Easton Tennis Centre and within Norfolk Tennis so meaningful. The memories we created will stay with me forever, and I wish you all every happiness and success for the future.

With my very best wishes,

Viki
