2009 Tennis AGM Report

This was held on Sunday, Oct 11th, and we had a good turnout for some very lively discussion. The document full minutes , including attendees, have been published, but here is a summary:

  • On a provisional basis, the coaches have been assigned priority on one floodlit court from 7:30-9:30PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Mondays a deal has been done with the ladies whereby Alex has given up his priority on one court between 5:30-7:30PM in return for priority between 7:30-9:30PM. If you are unhappy, or indeed in agreement, with this arrangement please voice your views on the website discussion forum.
  • The hut design has been agreed (see here) and plans have been submitted. Assuming planning approval we hope to start the project early in the new year.
  • The Wimbledon Ticket Ballot rules were subjected to extensive discussion but the majority wished to keep the current system. The options discussed are described document here .  Again, air your views on the discussion forum.
  • After the website demo, Matt Bamford gave his highly amusing match season report. The full text is document here.
  • Matt Bamford was awarded Life Membership of the Tennis Section for the combination of his extraordinary leadership of the men's 2nd team for the past 6 years, achieving promotion in all but one year, and for his amazing contribution, via the two talent shows, to Hut Relief!. Congratulations to Matt.
