Hi Everyone,
I wanted to send out a quick email, to introduce myself and the Tennis Committee of 24/25.
Following the Club AGM last night, I am delighted to have been inducted as your new Tennis Chair. Alongside myself, there is an amazing committee who I have introduced below. It’s great to see how many members are willing to volunteer their free time, their brain power (and sometimes their sanity!) to commit to these roles. As a member-run club, it is crucial that individuals do volunteer, and a huge thank you to all that give their time.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate last year’s committee, with Annabel Goodby as Chair, for a really productive and positive year. If you haven’t already, you can read what the committee got up to in the last year, in the Tennis AGM Report, in the Club AGM Voting Pack, sent by email a few weeks ago.
We hope to continue with the progress made by Annabel and continue to represent the tennis community to the best of our abilities. Please feel free to contact us throughout the year if you have any questions!
