Tennis Chair

Dear All

I have been Tennis Chair for the last 3 years and I have decided to stand down from this role at our AGM on 17th November. This does mean we are now looking for a new Tennis Chair and that person could be you!

This great club can only exist and thrive if members take on roles like this and I would ask you to please speak to me if you would be willing to find out more about this role and indeed there are also other ways you may be able to help support the club.

I would mention that the Tennis Chair role provides a fantastic opportunity to be a key member of a great team that makes a real positive difference to life at the club. We have so much going on at the club including teams playing in leagues with other clubs, a developing junior section, great club socials, tournaments, coaching and box leagues; in addition to many friendly games being arranged and played each week. You will not be alone as we have a fantastic tennis committee and many other club members who do so much to take on various responsibilities and who also support the role in other ways. This means that the role can be done while also working.

Please do speak to me if you would consider being the new Tennis Chair and I can give you some more information as to what is involved. This is very much open to those who have been members for some time and also newer members.

Regards,
Julian Holbrook
