Court Work Update

The work to repair and support the court edge and replace the fencing on the block of four courts was scheduled to complete by this Friday. It will take a bit longer. The back two courts (6 & 7) should be finished by this Friday and all 7 courts will be usable over the weekend. The work for the front two courts (4 & 5) will start on Monday.This means that court availability next week will be as previously advised.

Given the limitation of courts available for general play can I please remind everyone of the club's court usage rules. These are that if you are playing doubles and people are waiting for a court then you must vacate your court at the end of the set. If you are playing singles then you must immediately offer to play doubles with those waiting. 

Thank you for your patience whilst we are making these much needed improvements to our facilities. 

Court Availability Next Week

Due to the work being done on the block of four over the coming weeks court availability for members will be reduced. The table below shows at what times and on which days how many courts should be available for general play. The work continues until Friday 8th March.

Marina's new arrival

Dear All,
 
As many of you will know, our dedicated Head Coach Marina and her partner welcomed a baby into the world last week. They are back home and doing well.
 
Many members have said they'd like to send their well wishes and asked if I would organise yet another collection - so my apologies but here I am again!
 
If you'd like to contribute to a big Brondesbury Welcome to Marina and Rach's new arrival, you can do so here:
 
We will aim to buy a small gift for them (ideas welcome!!) and give them the remaining funds so they can buy what they need.
 
We will do this in early January, so if you want to contribute please do so by 8th Jan when we might see Marina back on court.
 
And thank you SO much to everyone who has contributed to the other pots this year - both Angus and Eliot were so blown away by your generosity. We were able to fund Eliot's first year of club membership with plenty to spare, he was delighted!
 
Have a wonderful Christmas.
 
Laura

School Court Usage

St Anthony's School boys will be using courts 6 & 7 for hockey sessions next week as follows:

  • Monday 11:15-12:15 and 2:15-3:15
  • Wednesday 2:15-3:15
  • Thursday 2:15-3:15

Coaching will probably take the other two courts but the block of 3 will be available for general play.

Leaving drinks for Eliot

Hello everyone,

We are going to be having some leaving drinks for Eliot at 8pm at The Black Lion in West Hampstead (NOT The Black Lion on Kilburn High Road!) next Monday 11th December from 8pm. 
 
We will take this opportunity to present him with his t-shirt and the kind donations from the members - thank you so much to everyone who has already donated, you've all been so generous, we have collected a fantastic amount.
 
If anyone still wishes to donate, you can do so via the link below. And don't forget to sign the t-shirt or send me a message to write on it!
 
Hope to see you next Monday 🥳
 
Laura Williams
