Changing Rooms, Junior Tournament + Other News

Dear Member

 

Just to update you on various matters:

 

CHANGING ROOMS:

Work in the changing rooms is now virtually complete. Our sincere thanks to Dennis Parker for actively supervising this. I hope that you will agree that the rooms are now vastly improved. We intend to re-decorate the entry hall shortly.

 

JUNIOR TOURNAMENT:

We are holding two open junior tournaments at the club from Mon 11th to Sat 16th Feb and from Mon 18th to Sat 23rd Feb. Both events are fully subscribed with 240 plus juniors entering for each week-some from as far afield as Cumbria and Cornwall. The standard, especially in Week 1 (a LTA Grade 3 event) is the highest we have had for many years. I very much hope you will come along and see some of the games. Finals will be on the two Saturdays from 10 am to approx 3 pm. You can see the entry lists by going to www.tournaments.org.uk and clicking on 'featured tournaments'. There will be no club play on the Saturdays until approx 3.30pm but other than that members should still be able to play on weekend evenings after about 7.30pm and also, of course, on Sundays. If matches have been delayed by rain you may like to ring 8296 9668 to confirm court availability.

 

COACHING

I hope to be able to give you updated information on the coaching situation at the club as soon as possible.    

 

LTA MEMBERSHIP

Apparently 80 Wilton members (out of 210) have joined the new free LTA membership scheme which puts us in 18th place out of 150 Surrey clubs. We will receive a refund from Surrey LTA on our affiliation fees if 60% of the club joins. So if you have not already done so please click on the link below and sign up. It is a fairly painless procedure and is beneficial to both the club and yourself!
