4th & 5th September - Repairs are scheduled to the rear part of the car park.

 

August - The Club T-Shirts have arrived - see item below (7-11-17).

 

17 July - As many of you are aware, the Club has been developing proposals for floodlighting of the courts in winter months.  In March, Ingatestone & Fryerning Community Association (IFCA) made an application for planning permission for floodlighting. At its meeting on 17 July, Brentwood Borough Council’s Planning Committee overwhelmingly rejected the application on the grounds floodlighting would be harmful to the living conditions of residents. We and the IFCA are considering the impact of the decision on the Club’s future development.

 

8 July - A successful Club Open Day took place.  Several dozen visitors enjoyed coaching, cardio tennis, a BBQ, speed of serve competition, ball machine drills, a raffle and a fun doubles tournament to round off the day.  Photos coming very soon.

22 people tested themseves against the ball machine.  The fastest servers were:  Dave Kinch (88mph) Nick Hilder (87) Shaun McGee (82).  On the female front Jacinta clocked up 58, Krassie 51 and Heather 46.  The top two youngsters were Hayden (61) and Odhran (55).  Full details on the link below.

 

15-18 June - Pathway Repairs carried out

 

3 June - Club "Spring Cleaning Day"

 

9 & 13 April -  The expanded Easter Coaching is a great success.  32 kids attended overall.  Good feedback and some potential new members.

February 2017: Co-op Community Card Scheme

As some of you may have seen from our Facebook page, the tennis club has signed up to the Co-op card scheme (see details attached), and Charlotte has cards for any of you who would like one. If you shop in any Co-op branch, including Quadrant in Chelmsford, for every pound spent the club gets points which can be cashed for fundraising activities. Co-op even donates 50% on top.  Doesn't cost you anything!

 

"Hurricane Doris" causes some damage to fencing.  Some remedial repairs were carried out on 25th February, and again on 18th March, with more substantial ones to follow.
