Annual General Meeting

We already have a date pencilled in for the Annual General Meeting. This is planned to take place after Club Play, on Saturday 7th November, from 12:30 in The Woodman pub, Farnborough Village. More details to follow in due course.

All members are welcome to attend the AGM and all may speak on the agenda items and issues to be debated. Senior members may also vote for or against the resolutions presented.

Any member wishing to propose a resolution at the AGM must send a copy in writing to the Honorary Secretary before the 1st November so that provision may be made on the agenda. Any items submitted later than this may be included at the discretion of the Club Chairman.

Autumn American

The Club Autumn American Tournament took place on Sunday 20th September, organised as usual by Jane Wells and run by Peter Sargent on the day. After three rounds of competitive tennis on a glorious sunny morning, there were clear winners in the Ladies and the Men’s. Congratulations to June Beesley and Stephen Wade. And many thanks, as always, to Jane and Peter.

Courts Environment and Security

Please help to take care of our courts environment. Use the measuring sticks to set the correct height for the nets and remember to lower them half-way when you leave the courts. The centre net adjusters should be hooked through the loose loop and NOT the fixed metal bar below; this will only jam them.

Remember to lock the court padlock and chain securely on the gate latch when you leave. The gate latch should be pushed all the way to the left, then put the padlock through the chain, the gate latch and the chain again to ensure the most secure closure, otherwise the gate may be breached.

If anyone else is playing when you leave, please check that they have a key to lock-up, even if you do not know them. If you believe they may not be members, please inform Peter, David or Jan as soon as possible.

Coaching

Our third programme of group coaching has now concluded and these sessions have proved very successful, with plenty of hints and tips gained from our coach Josh. And apparently an improvement in our all round play too!

We may be able to hold some further coaching sessions in the winter season and Josh is available for further 1to1 and small group coaching as well. If you are interested in improving your game, you can contact Josh direct to arrange a session - contact details from Jan or David.

Club Tournaments

All the tournaments are well underway now, with several finals ready to play. If you still have matches to play, please get them in the diary as soon as you can, as this years' AGM - where we present the trophies - is already scheduled for 7th November.

The deadline for Finals to be concluded is by the end of October.

A summary of the Tournament rules have been shared on the WhatsApp group and the full Tournament rules for match play can be found on the Matches page on the website. Please email your results to the tournament Organiser, Sue Leonard at susanleonard@sky.com

Club Matches

We have arranged 10 friendly matches this season, with 7 already completed. 

Our results so far show 2 wins for the Men, 2 draws and 2 defeats in the Mixed, and a win for the Ladies.

There are 3 more Ladies Doubles to play in September and October, so if you are interested in a game, please contact Kuniko Sato. These matches are always fun as well as competitive, played in a good spirit. Why not give it a try!
