10th Anniversary
This year is the club's 10th anniversary and to celebrate we are holding the annual subscriptions at 2006 rates and also giving free coaching to all - tennis and bowls, junior and senior.
Opening
This year, to fit in with public holidays, we hope to have the tennis courts ready for play on Friday 21st March while the bowling season will start on Saturday 12th April.
Tennis Coaching
The coaching sessions this year will be restricted to 8 members per session and will be available on a first come first served basis, so book early. Should there be a waiting list, we may be able to find some additional slots. Failing that, those who do not get a place will get first chance in the summer sessions.
Courts
The new system for maintaining the tennis courts worked very well last year and will continue again this year. If you can volunteer to help lay the lines please contact Peter Clarke on 447 1816.
Clean-up Day
There will be a clean-up day on Saturday 29th March starting at 11.00am. Don't leave it all to someone else to do it. Come along and help. Someone else has never once turned up during the last ten years!!!
Tennis
There is some demand for the tennis ladder to be reinstated and we hope also introduce a competitive league for interested juniors. Details will be published in the "office". We also plan to run a Summer School for the juniors - watch the newsletter for details.
Bowls
As previousely stated, the bowling season will start on Saturday 12th April.
Boule
Over the winter we had a good turn out for the Boule, which was played on Saturdays at 11.00am and on Wednesdays at 2.00pm by a very enthusiastic group.
Art Group
The art group met in the clubhouse on Wednesdays at 2.00pm. Whilst the attendance was disappointing this was more than made up for the by the enthusiasm of those who turned up.
Key Dates
