GREAT NEWS - A £10,000 GRANT FROM SPORT ENGLAND

We have just heard that Sport England has awarded our Club £10,000 - the maximum under its Small Grants Programme - for the purchase and installation of a non-turf surface for the practice net area.

This means that, for the first time, we shall have a proper, safe, net area which can be used by players of all ages.

We intend to have the work done in March 2010 in readiness for the 2010 playing season.

NEW WEB SITE

Our new web site is now up and running, bringing a new format and structure which hopefully will prove easy for everyone to navigate. Further developments will take place over the winter, in particular bringing in material from the earlier web. Next season we aim to keep you totally up to date with all the fixtures and results on a regular basis.

Feedback and suggestions - as well as contributions, stories, pictures and results/reports - are always welcome. Indeed, these are essential if the web is to fully portray the club and it's members, so please do contact your webmaster. Probably the easiest way to contact me is via email, and to establish initial contact, please use the email us link at the bottom of the page.

I look forward to meeting you all over the coming season,

Regards, Chris Wildey
