Following a 2 week break from coaching I was back on court yesterday ready for a push on tactical play in preparation for the forthcoming summer league season.
Last week we did play our social morning tennis on Wednesday although numbers were small.
On Wednesday evening I ventured out for a curry with the Oaks in Charnwood Club ladies. A good night was had by all - I'm sure I can find a photo somewhere.
On Monday this week I held our 1st captains meeting of the season to discuss players for the forthcoming matches. All teams appear to have a good squad of players, although this often changes as the summer approaches.
Final preparations are underway for the quiz night with all tickets sold.
The date for the 'Night at the Dogs' has been confirmed as Friday 25th April. Further details to follow.
Back on court tomorrow.

Half Term
Just when you think you are in for a restful week, one of your kids wants to decorate their bedroom! My week off has been spent papering & painting.
Wednesday 13th was the first of 3 tactics sessions that I am running at Charnwood. Attendance was fair with play exhilarating despite the very foggy & frosty conditions. Well done to those that attended.
I have posted a list of forthcoming events up in the clubhouse including details of the quiz night on 7th March. You might like to know that tickets for the quiz have sold very fast with very few now left so please contact me asap if you wish to take part.
Wednesday drill sessions continue this week for the ladies and later this month the men will commence their practice sessions with head coach, Matt Wilford.
Just a reminder to the ladies coaching groups that lessons restart on Monday 25th February but Wednesday social play is back this Wednesday 20th.

Looking Forward
Another testing week with some awful weather. I keep thinking it can only get better! Ladies groups 6 & 7 were delighted with the treat of indoor courts on Thursday morning which meant a full week on court for me despite the wind/rain/snow.
We met as a playing committee on Monday evening to instruct Gail, our secretary, on all the club teams we want entering into the various Leicestershire leagues for the coming months.
I had a meeting with LTA development officer, Paul Sheard, on Tuesday to enquire about funding for the club. He could promise nothing but gave some useful contacts.
Plans are all in place for the club's quiz night to be held at Charnwood on Friday March 7th with bookings being taken for tables of 6. Cost is £7.50 to include a fish & chip supper. Bring your own booze.

It was good to see our club captain, Clyde Williams, & Claire Elkington modelling the new club sweatshirts at Saturday club play. Feel free to place your own order by contacting me.
This week is the last before half term & I am hoping for some inspirational tennis.
Coaching restarts on Monday 25th February
