Excellent day at the club for this year’s Captain’s Day. We couldn’t have been luckier with the weather! The day started with free sessions at club coaching morning and the chance for everyone there to meet new Head Coach Oli who is taking over the Saturday morning programme from next weekend. Thanks to Martin for leading the sessions today and to Steve, Sarah Ball and Karen for helping him with the different groups. Sarah O’Sullivan kindly provided delicious bacon rolls and a variety of toasted sandwiches and paninis over lunchtime. Many thanks to Sarah for her hard work in a very hot kitchen and to Andrea for her assistance. Afternoon social tennis and the chance to win a prize for every set won attracted a big turnout with all nine courts in use and players waiting. Thanks to Steve for organising the tennis and his generosity providing all the prizes as well as free tea and cakes for both players and spectators later in the afternoon. Linda was honoured to partner our new coach Oli in his first game at the club and when they came in to draw their prizes, Linda won a free lesson with him! Thanks also to Hazel and Glynis for serving all the tea and cakes and to Angela for looking after the bar. A great day all round!

Another successful social event at the club with tennis and supper in the clubhouse afterwards. Delicious pizzas and salad thanks to Ashley and Andrea, followed by tiramisu made by Gill. Thanks also to Angela and Karen for looking after the bar, and Jane for leading some impromptu singing of choir favourites!
