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.
