New Lights Next Week

Written on .

The heads of the floodlights on the block of four are being replaced next week. The new heads will have LED lights, the same as on the block of three. As a result there will be reduced court availability as below.

8am-6.30pm
Courts 1&2 - Coaching
Courts 3,4,5 (or 3,6,7) - General play

6.30-9.30pm
Court 1- coaching
Courts 2&3- General play

The lights on the block of four will be out of action all week. In addition, the schools use will be 11:15-12:30 on Monday and Thursday, when only one court will be available for general play. 

It's inconvenient but we'll appreciate the quality of the new lights.   

Side Gate Access

Written on .

We are pleased to inform you that a lock has been installed along with a gate closer for enhanced security. If you require the access code, please email Svetlana at [email protected].

To maintain the integrity of our security measures, we kindly ask that you refrain from sharing the code with others. This will help ensure that access remains exclusive to members.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Club Secretary Vote

Written on .

As you will have noted from the latest club newsletter from Richard Abramson, we have an AGM on Nov 24 (at 6pm) and a contested election for club secretary, a role currently performed by Lara Greenfield.

Lucy Findlay is a tennis member and is standing in this election. She will be a great addition with relevant experience that she can bring to the board. I am thus encouraging you to attend in person and vote for her. As you also might have noted, it's possible for every voting member to also vote as a proxy for another member who can't attend. I am therefore asking you to ensure you use this facility. If you are planning to attend but don't have someone else to vote for as a proxy please email me and I will try and find a proxy for you.

If you are unable to attend and haven't been able to find someone to vote for you as a proxy, also please email me and I will try and marry you up with an attendee.   

2024 Club Tournament results

Written on .

Dear Members,

On Sunday the club hosted another successful Finals Day, in which we saw champions crowned across the senior and junior competitions.
Despite some challenging conditions, the quality of the tennis was superb with some entertaining matches on the day.
So well done to all who played, those who came to watch (in the cold), and all those who helped make the day a success, including Sirous and his team for another great BBQ.
A special thank you goes to the Brondesbury bakers who created some marvellous, and delicious, cakes for everyone to enjoy.
Below are the results from each competition.

Finals Day this Sunday 🏆

Written on .

Hi everyone,

The Brondesbury Tennis Tournaments will conclude this Sunday, with a day of action across all categories, junior and senior.

As well as seeing the 2024 tennis champions crowned, there will be the opportunity to indulge in some competition off court too!

Our Bake-Off competition returns, so we’re encouraging any budding bakers to bring something along.

We’ll also have a see-how-fast-you-can-serve machine, so a chance for bragging rights in your team, maybe?

In addition, our friend Sirous will be there with his amazing BBQ from 1.30pm. Menu items include sausages, turkey steak, chicken drumsticks, veggie burgers and veggie sausages, rice and salads. The food is all free, but drinks will be sold separately. This year, alongside the BBQ, there will also be an Ice Cream Van.

The tennis action starts at 12 noon, and as a reminder the schedule for the day is below.

If you’re taking part, supporting, or just fancy a free BBQ, please do come along.

To those who are still playing, good luck, and see you all on Sunday.
