I'm afraid that our plans to switch to a robust number code entry system for the back gate have not succeeded. Instead we have to move to using keys again, but at least now with automatic door closure so that access is permitted at any time. Keys have to be ordered from Svetlana, and cost £10 each. Please email requests for keys to [email protected].
A key will be needed for exit as well as for entry.
Attendance at this year's AGM on Sunday 24 November was very encouraging, and much higher than in the recent past - no doubt because of the interest spawned by having a competition for the role of Club Secretary. To deal with that issue straight away, Lucy Findlay and Robert Grant each put up an excellent case, but only one could be appointed and that proved to be Lucy. We look forward to working with Lucy. It would be a pity to waste Robert's enthusiasm, and I have already asked him to help with a major project.

We’re exploring the idea of starting a social table tennis session on Friday evenings (and possibly Wednesdays and weekends too). If you enjoy table tennis and would like to connect with others who share your interest, please email Svetlana at [email protected].
The latest newsletter unfortunately contained a link to an empty document. This was Robert Grant's CV regarding his suitability to be Club Secretary. The proper one is below. Our apologies.
The 2024 AGM is due to be held on Sunday 24th November 2024 at 6pm at the Club House. The agenda is below.
At the AGM this year we will be voting for a new Board member to take up the position of Hon. Club Secretary. As this is a contested vote with two candidates nominated we will be adopting the following process.
Each adult member (aged 18 or over) attending the AGM in person will have one vote.
Each adult member attending the AGM in person will have one proxy vote available to them (as per our constitution). If you are attending the AGM and intend to represent another member’s vote please bring to the AGM meeting proof that you have been requested to be a proxy. This proof of proxy voting can be provided by email, text, WhatsApp etc… The proxy can leave to you the choice of how to vote or can require that you use the proxy to vote for a particular candidate.
Candidates standing for the role of Hon. Club Secretary:
The Club AGM will be held in the main pavilion at 6pm on Sunday 24 November.
Part of the business of the AGM is to elect members to fill the three Director roles of President, Treasurer and Secretary. Our secretary, Lara Greenfield, is standing down, while I and Jon Liddiard are willing to continue as President and Treasurer respectively. Nominations for any of the three roles are invited. Nominations must be by two other members and the nominee must confirm that they are willing to be appointed. Please send nominations to [email protected] by 1 November.
