Newsletter February 2022
As I write this, snow is still on the ground but the days are getting longer.
The 2022 tennis season is not too far away and we are already working on club matters for the upcoming year, opening planned for early April.
Your new WTC Board has met several times and I am pleased to report that this Board seems very dynamic and proactive.
As your President, I am writing to you to let you know what we have been up to and what is coming down the pipe line.
We are here to serve you, the Membership, and, while we certainly don’t expect to be able to please everyone, we hope to try!
The Board meets regularly (meeting dates to be posted on the website ahead of time), and we welcome any input or suggestions that you may have.
Please email us through the club’s email address, or, if you know any Board members, you can contact one of us directly.
Points of note:
- The AGM will be held earlier in the season to comply with the fact that we have changed our financial year end. The AGM will be held on the Sunday of the week prior to the Victoria Day long weekend (AGM will be on Sunday May 15th this year)
- The Agenda will be posted ahead of time and there will be proposed constitutional changes which we need the membership to approve, including a modest rise in membership fees.
- We hope for a good turnout to the AGM – there will be food (usually a good draw card)
- Guest fees will go up to $10 – each guest is still only able to play once a week
- Social Doubles – we will trial an added social doubles session, held daytime on a weekday early in the season, for those who are retired or “work from home”!
- Gametime booking rules remain the same but each booking will be for a one-hour slot throughout.
- We welcomed 38 new members to WTC this year. Our current waiting list is 1000 names long….
- The aim is to run lessons this year for adults and kids, as per pre Covid times
- We have engaged the services of a new accountant who has a lot of experience with tennis clubs like ours
Here’s looking forward to a great season of tennis and club activities!
Janice Graham
President WTC
