Sponsorship secured

The new summer match season is a week away so I am delighted to say that I have managed to secure brand new sponsorship from leading Leicetershire estate agent, James Sellicks. He has very kindly agreed to, not only support my coaching kit, but also provide fleece tops for the Charnwood Ladies 1st team players.

At coaching we are working hard at our match-play tactics which will be put to the test this week when our ladies 4th team have their first match against our fast-improving 5th team. Good luck to you all.

I will keep you posted as to how results are going.

Dog Racing Success

Friday 18th April

Over 70 members and friends descended on Nottingham's Colwick Park for a night of dog racing.

Despite the cold track-side attendance was good to help cheer on the dogs.

Mark and family eventually scored several winners.

Other members decided to stay in the warm bar watching the races on the televisions.

Or just catching up on the latest tennis news!

And at the end of the night the good news was that Charnwood Tennis Club won the trophy for most winners in our named traps.

Thanks again to all those who attended.

Easter

A belated happy Easter from me.

I had a good break over the holidays spending a few days in London with the family.

Whilst being off-court I have been trying to get up to date on some club issues and trying to finalise arrangements for sponsorship for our ladies 1st team.

As Chairperson at Charnwood I was pleased to meet up with Stuart Smith, President of the LTA, last Wednesday to discuss ways forward for our club. Whilst the meeting was interesting and informative, we clearly have lots of work to do in the eyes of the LTA. We therefore have further meetings planned to ensure our club continues to evolve and improve in all it does.

So I am now back to the serious business of coaching and making sure that everyone is ready for the forthcoming summer ladies doubles season.
