Open Tournament on Saturday 25 May
The Club held a very successful tournament on Saturday in the sunshine with six couples competing against each other in a format where each couple played against all of the other couples in matches lasting 15 minutes each. The couple winning the most number of games over the whole event was declared the winner for the day. On Saturday the winning pair were Lise and Will Martin - congratulations to them both.
Coffee Morning
The Coffee Morning held on 11 May was a real success with Club members and local visitors enjoying meeting friends over a cup of coffee and a piece of cake as well as purchasing plants, raffle tickets, books, items from the pre-loved stall and from guest stallholders - Muffet Monroe, Helen Moore, Rull Flowers and Lesotho Rose. From the money raised, the Club is delighted to be able to send £150 to Devon Air Ambulance Trust. Thank you to everyone who contributed to supply cakes, raffle prizes and gave their time to help.
Membership Renewals
The new tennis season starts on 1st April 2024 and all subscriptions will become due then.
We are delighted to announce that our new online booking system - ClubSpark - which was introduced last year seems to be working well. We have suffered a few glitches and the LTA is continuously trying to improve the operating system.
Anyone who wishes to book the court, members and non-members alike, will need to register with the LTA (free to join up) first before using ClubSpark.
Payments for ad hoc bookings can be paid for online. Members do not need to pay once they have paid their subscriptions. If anyone has any issues trying to book a court, they should contact Sarah Vertigan.
All subscriptions should be made by BACS, if possible, directly into the Club bank account and, once payment has been received, the memberships will be activated.
If anyone has booked the court but no longer requires the booking, please make sure you access the online system to cancel/release the court so that others may book that slot. This applies to both members and non-members.
