October 2021 Update Dear Members It is simply amazing to think that one year ago our AGM was in the height of restrictions and all held remotely. We are very pleased to confirm that this year the Tennis section AGM will be held in the main club house on the 11th November.
Please do come along and support your club, learn what we have been doing in the last 12 months in this amazing community club. We do need a minimum number of participants beyond the committee to achieve a quorum.
If anyone is interested in becoming a member of the committee please do let one of us know. We would welcome one or two new members and will give you any information you may need in advance of the AGM to help you understand what that would mean.
We also have some other updates for you - scroll down!
FCTC Committee
Member survey
The last 18 months has been exceptional as we all know. With that, we want to hear from you all so please stand by for a very simple survey that will be coming out soon (probably via Survey Monkey).
It's only 10 questions we promise, so please do take the 5 minutes of your precious time to complete it by the end of October so we have it as information for the AGM.
Singles ladder update
We are just starting our Autumn/Winter ladder and it is open to all. Great to see we have new members participating as well as both men and ladies participating. Good luck to all!
If you have not registered and want to find out more, please contact our activities secretary Andy Davidson on [email protected]
Booking system update
Fastcourts is getting a refresh with a merger with a new company. All of you who are registered on Fastcourts will be getting a direct communication from Sue with the new site details.
All your logon information will be transferred over automatically and the experience should continue to be as simple as you are used to. Any issues please let Sue Salmon know.
Rusty Racquets and Whatsapp group reminders
We know that some of you who joined recently would prefer to get more practice as you build up your confidence to play at club sessions. We are thrilled that some of the members have set up a new Whatsapp group to facilitate play.
In the meantime for all of you new members, don't forget that there are a set of other WhatsApp groups used to co-ordinate all the club related sessions that you can ask to be added to. Please contact the members below and ask to be added into the appropriate group. There is also some great tennis related chat on the groups too!
