Annual General Meeting 2024
On Monday 18th March at 7.30pm we held the club's Annual General Meeting. We had the opportunity to have an open discussion about some of the concerns and issues raised by members (both at the meeting and those who had contacted me separately). It was great to have Paul and Yasmin attend as well from Microsports to talk about some of the ideas and plans they have to develop particularly the juniors but also broaden the offering to adults as well. A brief summary, of the key areas that we need to focus on over the coming weeks are;
I will be working up a draft plan to take to the next committee meeting which we will then put into action. We were also delighted to welcome Jon Clark to the committee as our new Club Secretary. We do have to recognise though that for the club to success we will need engagement from all of you and getting thoughts and ideas as to how we can improve will be vital, so for the next few weeks I'll put up a sheet with a few post-it notes, so please do put any thoughts or proposals you have up there. You don't need to put your name (but of course can) - but the more suggestions we have will help to form the forward plan to move the club forward for everyone to benefit. Tournaments Diary

Play
The majority of our adult play uses what we call “Club Play”. Club play is normally mixed doubles but men’s or ladies doubles may be played by mutual agreement. Members arrive and mix in to play with changes taking place as sets end. With the exception of floodlit play, matches and tournaments courts may not be booked.
