After what seems a long and specially dreary winter, spring is surely coming soon, and with it the new Summer season!
*** MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL: EARLY SAVINGS ***
As you know, our “membership year” runs from April to March. So it’s time to renew. Many thanks to everyone who’s already renewed for 2025/26, and a very warm welcome to our new members who’ve already joined for the coming year.
*** THERE ARE BIG SAVINGS FOR RENEWAL BEFORE 31st MARCH. ***
All the details of prices and the simple payment process are on https://wbtc.org.uk/tennis-membership/.
SOCIAL: WINE-TASTING EVENING
You are warmly invited to an evening of wine tasting and good food in the clubhouse at 7pm on Friday 28th March. During the evening you will have the opportunity to flex your palate, taste 8 exceptional wines and engage in some friendly competition with our ‘guess the glass’ challenge. There are even prizes on offer for those with the most perceptive taste buds.
A ploughman’s buffet is included in the price and will be suitable for meat eaters and vegetarians alike.
If you are able to join, please transfer the paltry sum of £25 to the club account [same details as for Membership] and email Luke Wildgoose (lukewilliamwildgoose@gmail.com) with your name and any dietary requirements by Saturday 22nd March. If you’re not a drinker but would still like to attend the rate is £7 to cover the cost of your food.
