Unfortunately Liz Allwood and Val Hutton managed to resign from their
committee duties-some of us tried as well but were not so successful! Many
thanks to Liz who has been our Membership Secretary for 5 years and prior to
that general club secretary for 6 years and to Val who has been a very hard
working committee member for very many years.
Ron Smith has been awarded life membership of the club in recognition of
all he has done over the past 20 years.Well done Ron!
Purchase of tennis club land.
The committee is currently in the process of
purchasing the club grounds from our landlord-Cheshire East this should
hopefully be completed in the next few months.We felt this was in the club's
future interest due to the uncertainty of being given an extension on our lease
- our current one was coming to an end and also the unaffordable rent increase
which was likely to be imposed on us.The purchase was made possible with a grant
of £15,000 from Nantwich Town Council and using £27,000 of the club's
funds.
Wish
List.
The new committee will be trying to produce a new wish list for the
club.The new lights on Courts 5+6 had been our last aim.If you have any wishes
please email me or John - haywood666 @btinternet.com with them-please bear in
mind that our club funds will be somewhat diminished if the land purchase is
completed successfully but there is no harm in wishing!Things that we will be
thinking about :-are upgrading the floodlights on courts 1-4,a knocking up wall
and kid's zone,improvements to the carpark.
Use of club fund's since 1993.
You maybe interested to see what achievments the club has made over the
last few years and how much it has actually cost the
club:-
New courts 5 & 6 built . £38.300 New lights 5 & 6 £
7,200
New clubhouse £40,000 On going land purchase £27,000
