Tennis update (with some extra bits for all members)

Dear all

I just wanted to give you all an update on various positive things that are happening at the club:-

Summer Tournament

This is well underway. Please make every effort to fix all your matches sooner rather than later. Do keep the finals date free as this is a great social event with a BBQ. This is on 19th July and is open to the whole club.

Multi-Sports Day

This will take place on 14th June and should be great fun. A separate email with further information will be sent very shortly.

Calendar

Thanks to Sean Byrne, we now have an updated calendar on our website showing pretty much all events and activities which are happening including regular events. Why not load the link to your phone so you can keep an eye on what is happening.

Teams

Well done to all members of the club who represent the club in team matches against other clubs. It’s great to see the results posted on the tennis hub.

Club Social

These sessions continue to be very popular. They are a great opportunity just to be able to turn up and play tennis without having to organise anything or fix dates in advance. So far, we have been able to facilitate all Wednesday evening and Saturday sessions this year (particular thanks to all those who facilitate). Do come along if you have not been for awhile or not been at all. Also, we welcome feedback and want to see if the club socials can be made even better. If you have not therefore yet completed the club social questionnaire please can you complete this very soon. This is the survey link: https://survey.eastgrinsteadtennisclub.co.uk

Keeping updated

Do join the club’s Whats App community group. From here you can join the tennis hub and practice partners and also other groups for squash and racketball.

Rusty Rackets

If you don’t feel quite ready to come along to a club social or perhaps you would like to have a bit of time to put some technique into practice in a friendly groupo setting then the informal Rusty Rackets on Sundays 1.30 – 2.30 may be for you. You just need to join the practice partners WhatsApp group if you would like to come along so that messages can be posted if you are coming along and others will know to join in too.

Juniors

We are trialling a Youth Mix In (secondary school age) on Saturdays at 12.00 which is currently open to certain coaching groups. The plan is to hopefully expand this so we have a mix in session (similar to club social) open to juniors in this age group.

Daphne Lamport Tournament

We are hosting this event again and it will take place on 12th October. Details to follow nearer the time.

Box Leagues

These are still going and there is still a league for everyone. Please speak to Bram if you would like to join or if you would like some more information .

Coaching

Its great to have Luke Taylor and Luke Grantham join Adam and Giles as part of the coaching team. They offer coaching for juniors and adults (groups or one to one coaching) plus tennis camps for school holidays etc. Do look at Adam’s website for further details www.egtenniscoaching.com

Cardio-tennis

Luke Grantham is planning to run this on a trial basis during the May half term. More details to follow.

So you will see from the above there is a lot going on!

Do join in and speak to me or anyone else on the tennis committee if you have any questions. My email address is: tennischair@egtsc.org

Regards,

Julian
