New Year message and exceptional Coaching offers

To keep upto date with all COVID related club rules please check emails and visit the web site.

Firstly, let me say Happy New Year!!

It has been quite a year. I hope you have all managed to come through relatively unscathed.

I would like to thank everyone for following the rules of tennis lockdown, even though sometimes the rules may not seem perfectly sensible.

Amazingly the tennis club has been quite successful in attracting new members and keeping the courts open as much as possible.

As usual we still do not have floodlights or a signed off version of a new lease.

However, we do now have a flood light plan that is expected to pass planning. The planning decision was initially going to be in October, 2020. However, some hurdles we're put in our way which meant we had to have further surveys. All of this is now complete, and we will be seeking a decision from SODC in January.

The new version of our lease with Henley College has been held up due to COVID and some misunderstandings. However, we are working our way through these and I hope for good news, also in January. The new version of the lease will enable us to invest further in the club with the security of a buy back clause that will compensate us adequately should it be invoked in the next 11 year's. The word from the college is that we should not worry about a buyback as the college are now pursuing use of the fields for sports. Contracts have been signed with rugby and football clubs and also with the England Ladies U20 rugby to use the fields

The AGM was supposed to at the end of November, 2020. However, we decided to postpone as it was difficult to arrange due to COVID. We aim to have the AGM in January. I will write up the Chairman's report before then so that we can all have the information prior to any meeting. Look out for this in emails and on the Club web site.

I would like to thank all the Committee for their support over the past year. We have so much more to achieve in 2021.

I would also like to thank Tom, our Head Coach. It has been a difficult time to be a coach over this year. Tom keeps extremely positive and has still managed to keep junior course and camps, and adult coaching going in these trying times with all the limitations that COVID brings.

Please see below for some incredible offers from Tom. I do believe that these are exceptional offers and I hope you will support Tom over the next year.

Thank you all.

See you on court soon.  Col
