2025/26 SUBSCRIPTIONS DUE

28th April 2025

Just a reminder that subscriptions for the 2025/26 season are due on June 1st. We have been able to keep the subs the same rate as last year.

Annual payers. Please pay the due amount by bank transfer before 1st June so that your membership and court booking privileges continue uninterupted.

Monthly payers. You do not need to do anything, and your payments will continue as normal. The terms for monthly payers are a minimum of 12 months, but you can swap to pay the annual fee now if you wish - just let me know. You will have to sign up for this on the website just before June 1st (to avoid paying twice!).

If you don't want to continue membership, please let me know as it is useful to have a reason why.
Thanks, Carol

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

28th April 2025

Now that spring has come, activity at the club has started to ramp up and I thought it would be useful to let you know of a number of developments and dates.
Firstly, after three years of struggling with the property deeds these are now safely registered HM Land Registry.
We had a suggestion to purchase a new ball machine. A small group have worked hard on this and we now have a new machine which will be available to all members for a small fee. If you are interested please let one of the committee know and we will arrange for training to use the machine.
I'm delighted to announce that Zoe Hough has agreed to join the committee as social secretary.
The teams are now involved in league matches and if you would like to support any of the teams please come down. Notifications are available on our website and Facebook, and there is a record on the notice board in the clubhouse.
We are holding a clean up day on Saturday the 3rd of May from 10 o'clock. All members are welcome to come and assist in this sociable restoration and maintenance.
We are holding our Open day as usual on the Saturday the 17th of May. There will be Junior and family sessions in the morning and a tournament in the afternoon with raffle, buffet and music.
Our She Rally for lady non-members is on Sunday 11th May and this year's Rusty Racquet sessions start on Sunday 1st June. Do encourage friends and family to come down.
We will be holding a charity and fundraising quiz night on the 11th of October so please put this in your Diaries.
Steve Harris Chair WTC.
