A Farm Avenue resident was awoken last Thursday, a public holiday, at 06:15 by play on one of the back courts. This is unacceptable. The earliest start time during normal weekdays is 07:00, and 08:00 on weekends and public holidays.
This is an open invitation to join us on Finals Day and help revive the pre-pandemic ‘family’ atmosphere of the club. Numerous events will be taking place throughout the afternoon, and all funds raised will go to UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees). Obviously the situation in Ukraine is currently foremost in our minds, but there are displaced people suffering all over the world - and UNHCR has the experience and the tools to provide aid in the most effective way.
Tournament finals will begin at 12 o’clock and, as ever, there should be some spectacular matches. Tea and refreshments will be available all day, with the addition of a hearty BBQ from 1pm.
Other events planned include:
Mass warm-up
Outdoor yoga class
Kids races
Great Brondesbury Bake-Off
Please keep your eye out for follow up newsletters, where I will clarify events and timings. As ever, we have a day of community to look forward to, and, unlike Wimbledon, everyone is welcome.
Our next Mix 'n' Match tournament will take place on Sunday 22nd May. Head down to the club for 2pm if you want to play some relaxed, friendly tennis and meet other members. We'll assign you to partners for 4 rounds of tennis, with a different partner each time.
Bring along some food or drink and we'll tuck in from around 4pm.
Both junior and adult league matches will be starting soon. The junior matches will take place on the weekends, the first on this coming Saturday. Adult matches will be on weekday evenings from 6.30pm.
All matches are recorded in the website calendar, so please do take a look to see when court time will be limited.
Please remember to add your phone number at this stage so that other members can contact you. The contact details of all players will be printed out and listed on the pavilion notice board.
If you are signing up your child to compete, please ensure the account is in their name.
Once you have registered it will take you to the Brondesbury Community area within Playwaze where you will see the tournaments listed.
Then click ‘Sign-up’
If it is a doubles tournament then there is a ‘select your partner’ button. Please ensure both you and your partner are signed up to PlayWaze.
Once the tournament has started you can view the tournament draw to see who you have been drawn against.
