Yesterday we celebrated the 90th birthday of George Badacsonyi, one of our longstanding members and, just possibly, our oldest, showing the contribution that tennis makes to longevity.
George is standing to the left of the group wearing a white cap and a blue top.

The club has allowed the coaches for St Anthony's School, a long-time user of club facilities, to use two courts on Thursday early evening, 5:30-7pm, to honour the passing of one of their number. That means during these times only one court will be available for general play. Four courts will be available from 7pm.

Bob's funeral will be, as previously mentioned, at 1pm on Wednesday May 8th at Golders Green crematorium in Hoop Lane. The club is hosting a wake for the family immediately aftwrewards. Matt Bamford has applied a plaque for Bob on the olive tree housing outside the pavilion.
Due to altered activity over the years, the club has changed social mix-in times on Saturday from the morning to 1-3pm. This esentially reflects playing patterns.
We have entered the summer match season for both adults and juniors. Adult matches take place midweek from 6:30pm and use three courts. Junior matches are held at weekends, either at 12:00 or 16:00 and take two courts. All home matches are recorded in the website calendar so please take note of this when arranging games at these times.
The family has informed me that the funeral will be held at Golders Green crematorium on Hoop Lane, on Wednesday, May 8th, at 1pm. We are still in discussion about hosting a wake at the club afterwards and I will keep you informed.
