Happy 2008 Newsletter

Dear Member

 

I should like to wish all members a Happy 2008. If your resolutions include shedding a few pounds (or stones, in my case!) I hope you will be making regular visits to Wilton!

 

Social tennis restarts this evening and continues every Wednesday (from 7.30 to 10pm) and at weekends from 2.30 to 6 pm.

 

Entries are now open for our winter closed tournament with the finals to be held on Sat 26th April. The following events will be held: Mens Singles, Ladies Singles, Ladies Doubles, Mens Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Mixed Doubles (Drawn Partners), Ladies 35+Singles, Mens 35+Singles, Mens 45+ Singles, Mens 55+ Singles, Handicap Singles (open to all).

 

Please enter on the club notice board or by replying to this email. Please let me know if you require a doubles partner. Entries are free and must be made by Wed 23rd January.

 

Coaching courses resume the week commencing Mon 14th January. They are for improver/non team standard and are scheduled as follows: Tues 6.30-7.30 pm, Thurs 7-8 pm. Sat: 11.30am -1.00pm and Sun: 6.00-7.30pm. All courses last for 10 weeks (including a 2 week break from 10th-24th Feb). The cost is £80 for midweek courses and £100 for the weekend courses. Courses will have a minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 players. Please let me know if you wish to sign up. Once accepted you will be asked to pay in full on the date of your first session.

 

Team practice sessions resume next week with Mondays from 8pm for Mens 1-4 and Ladies 1-2. Tuesdays will continue from 7.30pm for Ladies 3-4 and Mens 5-7. The cost is £3 per session to be paid on the evening.

 

Could I also take this opportunity of reminding you about the need for care with the security of the club. There was an occasion recently when the club was left open. It is the responsibilty of all members to ensure that the clubhouse is locked and the gate padlocked if you are the last member to leave.

 

Work has started on a substantial upgrade of the changing room facilities  and this will continue for the next two or three weeks.

 

Best regards

 

Terry
