TEAM TENNIS
THANKS to everyone who’s represented the club in the Oxfordshire League this summer, and ***CONGRATULATIONS!!!*** to the five teams who’ve had particularly good seasons and special success: our Mixed A and Men’s B have both secured promotion, our Men’s Midweek team finished joint-top of the Midweek League, and our Ladies D and Mixed D, the latter in their first-ever season, both excitingly won their divisions. The Winter League is already under way – good luck to all our sides: enjoy!
CLUB NIGHTS
With our courts now lit, Club Nights continue all the year round. Come and join in! For the times of all our Club Sessions, now including Tuesday afternoons, check out the courts timetable on https://wbtc.org.uk/courts-timetable/
DATE FOR THE DIARY
This year’s AGM is on THURSDAY 6th NOVEMBER
at 7.30 pm in the clubhouse. Be sure to come along and join in discussion about the club’s present progress and plans for the future. It matters!
VOLUNTEERS
As you know, the club is run entirely by volunteers, and we need new people to step forward and take a role in making the club work and develop and be a great place to play. In particular, our Chair, Phil Reid, has reached the end of his three-year term, Secretary Sally Bryant is retiring from the committee after holding several roles in the last decade and more, and Nigel Bryant, who has carried out Courts Maintenance along with other roles since 2013, would now like someone else to take on this vital work. The full list of vacancies is posted on the clubhouse notice board, and is about to be circulated. When it appears, don’t wait for the mysterious “Someone Else” to come forward! Please volunteer.
SOCIAL
A reminder that our next social event at the club is a wine-tasting evening (“France vs The Rest of the World”) on Saturday 15 November. An invitation will be coming soon, but you can book your place already. All the details are on the website page: https://wbtc.org.uk/news/club-social-wine-tasting-evening/
