Club Board vacancies

Brondesbury Sports Club, as probably you know, is governed by a Board, although most day to day issues are deputed to the separate sports committees for Tennis, Cricket and Squash.  The Board consists of a President (better thought of as chairman of the Board), Secretary, Treasurer and a representative from each of the three sports sections.

I will be ceasing my role as President with effect from the AGM, scheduled for 6pm on November 23rd.  Jon Liddiard, our Treasurer, will also be leaving the Board.  Appropriate notice will be given of the AGM, allowing members to be nominated for the vacant roles.  However, I am publishing this advance notice so that anyone can consider whether they might wish to apply for one or other role.  If you are interested, please speak to any member of the Board or, in the first instance, discuss it with a member of the relevant committee for your membership, Tennis, Cricket or Squash.

Christmas message

The clubhouse will be closed from 23rd December to 2nd January, but the tennis hut, as well as the tennis and squash courts, will remain available as usual.  

Festive greetings to all.

Back gate entry system

I'm afraid that our plans to switch to a robust number code entry system for the back gate have not succeeded.  Instead we have to move to using keys again, but at least now with automatic door closure so that access is permitted at any time.  Keys have to be ordered from Svetlana, and cost £10 each.  Please email requests for keys to [email protected].

A key will be needed for exit as well as for entry.

Club AGM 2024 Minutes (link included)

Attendance at this year's AGM on Sunday 24 November was very encouraging, and much higher than in the recent past - no doubt because of the interest spawned by having a competition for the role of Club Secretary.  To deal with that issue straight away, Lucy Findlay and Robert Grant each put up an excellent case, but only one could be appointed and that proved to be Lucy.  We look forward to working with Lucy.  It would be a pity to waste Robert's enthusiasm, and I have already asked him to help with a major project.

Table Tennis

Dear Members,

We’re exploring the idea of starting a social table tennis session on Friday evenings (and possibly Wednesdays and weekends too). If you enjoy table tennis and would like to connect with others who share your interest, please email Svetlana at [email protected].
