October notes

 

I’ve been away for the past couple of weeks so I haven’t been able to keep Members up to date with what’s happening. This is the latest information I’ve gleaned since getting off the plane yesterday….

 

Court fencing – southern boundary

 

The fencing contractors have started work on replacement of the southern boundary fence. It will be late next week before the job is completed. The work involves replacement of the old supports with stronger uprights and renewing the wire netting. So digging out and re-concreting is necessary. In order to minimise disruption, work has started on courts 1 and 2, leaving courts 3 to 6 available for play. The contractor will complete the refencing behind courts 1 and 2 before moving on to the other courts. Clearly there will be some disruption to court availability so please bear with us once again. We aim to have all courts available (though some will not have back netting) for the weekend. Timing is a little difficult to assess because ground conditions have so far been against the contractor. Once completed we should have some of the best facilities in the County.

 

Annual General Meeting

 

I still need to get up to date with AGM matters – but remember that the AGM will be held at 7.30pm on Wednesday, 28 October in the Lawn Bowls Pavilion. Nominations for all positions on the Committee are invited – nominations close on 21 October. As I said last time, should you wish to nominate anyone, you may download a nomination form from http://www.chippenhamtennis.org.uk . Alternatively, there are copies of the nomination form in the ‘Clubmark’ folder at the Club. You must seek the prior agreement of your nominee to his or her name being put forward and ensure that your nomination is seconded by another member. Forms may either be ‘posted’ in the suggestions box in the Club room, or e-mailed directly to me at tony.clark2@tiscali.co.uk .
