Sadly, John Marsden, who many of you will have known, died peacefully yesterday.

In the words of club members:

"A lovely man."

" We just can't imagine tennis without John." 

"RIP John, pleasure to have shared a court and a conversation."

"Picnic organiser, Sunday tennis leader, Chief club photographer."

"A great club man."

"John was always so welcoming to me when I first joined the club."

"Such a lovely friend and member of our club."

Our thoughts are with John's family and friends.
