Winter League

We would like to know who is interested in playing Winter league this year so we can gauge how many teams to enter. Fixtures usually start in October and run until March with matches played on Sundays. If you would like to play, please email Alan Jones at aj1572015@gmail.com Do not reply to this email.

End of year membership

If you know of anyone who might like to try tennis but doesn’t want to commit to a full year’s membership at the moment, please let them know that our fees are now down to 30% from today until the end of December. That means that a Full membership is only £57 for the last 4 months. For details of the other categories and prices, please see the club noticeboard.

Aussie mat (Drag mat)

Please remember to store the Aussie mat situated on court 5 absolutely flat. They cost around £500 each and can easily be damaged if they are left lying folded over. The mat on court 6 has been reinforced and two new hooks have been attached to the fencing in the back corner near the shed, so this mat should be stored hanging on these hooks. Thank you for your help in looking after our equipment.

A message from the chair

In case you missed last week’s mailing, please listen to this message from Viv McFarquhar, chair of the club, explaining about the club development plan and how you can help. Don’t worry, you don’t have to join a committee, but we would like you to spend 8 minutes just listening to how our future plans for the club will be made. If you’ve already seen it, you don’t have to listen to it again! Thank you.
