British Tennis Membership

i. Allocation of Wimbledon tickets to tennis clubs will be based on the number of its members (adults and juniors aged 9+) who have signed up as a British Tennis member by 30th November 2008.
 
So far the Club has just over 100 members signed up so we do need your help to increase this number.  Also, only members of BTM may go into the ballot for tickets.
 
It is absolutely free for members of affiliated Clubs and there are a number of benefits beside Wimbledon tickets.  Tony says he will be pleased to do the paper work in the office if you would advise him by phone or email if you would like to join.  tonyscarlett@lineone.net  0208 878 7650
 
 
ii.  The AGM will be held on Monday 24th November at 8 p.m. at the club

Sunday Mix-In

After 10.30 a.m. on Sunday mornings, a volunteer organises the mix-in session to make sure everyone gets to play in a reasonably balanced foursome.  Many thanks to those members who are on the rota.
