Sunday 2nd July

Written on .

Dear tennis members,

Please join us on the afternoon of Sunday 2nd July at 2pm for a picnic, mini Sports Day, and a farewell to Angus.

Yes, you may have heard the sad news that Angus is leaving us for a Canadian adventure. The second biggest land mass on the planet, Angus has been entertaining us at Brondesbury for 24 years. As a doubles player his skills are legendary, and if you check the LTA website you’ll see that his forehand is classified as a dangerous weapon. Those of us lucky enough to have witnessed his development into captaincy and coaching have seen a unique talent, matched with kindness and humour, whether he is instructing beginners, juniors or senior players.
      
So, having reached our club ceiling, he’s off seal clubbing. And hopefully the experience of a lifetime. Please join us as we wave goodbye to a much-valued member of the Brondesbury family.

The doubles ladder is now live!

Written on .

Please log in to Playwaze to see your placement here https://playwaze.com/brondesbury-tennis-club/5j8vlxed5hb6u/ladder-display/o3hr23iltf.  A paper copy will also be available to view in the clubhouse.                                 

You are able to challenge pairs one or two rungs above you - you are responsible for organising your own games. The ladder is set to be best of one set, but of course you are free to arrange to play best of 3 sets instead. If you've been challenged to a game and repeatedly cancel, then you may find you get dropped down a few rungs!        

Contact details for each member are available on Playwaze, so you should be able to find contacts for your opponents there, but if you have any doubts just ask me ([email protected]).

If there are more pairs who would like to participate but who have missed the deadline, there will be a short pause later in the month to add in more. 
       
I hope that's all clear and enjoy!

Please Turn the Lights Out

Written on .

Please turn the lights out on courts 1-3 if you are the last person leaving them. If not, the coaches will be forced to take time off their work to avoid wasting club money. It's only another 30 secs.
