2005
Summary of 2005 at Kings
Lawn Tennis Club
Adult Tennis:
2005 has seen a huge rise of
the number of adult members who are using the club facilities
on a more regular basis. Thank you for all your support throughout
the year. We again ran a number of very well supported events
notably the doubles events during spring and summer which were
a great success. These were again surpassed by the Christmas
mixed generation event where 56 players entered with 48 being
members of the club. 'The Defenders' (Sheila Quinn and Louise
Webb) won the title for a second consecutive year. Maybe next
year we should call them 'The Reaffenders' !!! A big thank you
to all those who participated.
Monday Night Club Coaching is going well with good numbers every
week. We have continued Thursday Night coaching for beginners
due to the increased demand for lessons. My thanks go out to
the members who have supported the nights throughout the year;
it has been much appreciated on the cold and wet nights!
Tuesday Nights have continued to grow throughout
the year with more members taking part. Jim Mottershead, one
of our new coaches, has turned out for Club play throughout the
winter nights to guarantee members have a game. The 'open nights'
held on the first Tuesday of the months have also been popular
with new and prospective members having the chance to meet new
people and play some tennis. The Bar is open and is proving more
and more popular so come and keep Rob company after you played!!
. Thank you to Chris Askew who has tirelessly helped to promote
these nights.
Junior Tennis..
We have had a shake up in the
latter part of 2005 with the coaching staff. We have said a fond
farewell to Andy Putley and Charlie Thompson and thank them for
all their hard work since joining Kings. We now say G'Day
to Ryan Fowler who has come over from Australia to work in
the sunnier climes of England !! Also hi to Jim Mottershead
who has come from Next Generation in Bristol. More on our junior
successes under coaching.
