19/128 BUILDING & AMENITY PRIORITIES – Tennis Club report
Report Received and read out:
We had our AGM in November and it was really well attended. We held it in the Smokehouse and provided a light buffet and Phil gave a junior presentation – most improved player which was great.
Phil provides free coaching before club night on a Wednesday called Rusty Rackets which is great fun and brings people out!!.
I understand Mick had a good meeting with finance committee and we appreciate comments made. We are still awaiting rent invoice.
We hope the work carried out on the car park to stem the flow of mud has worked we really need to check after / during a bad storm but appreciate the work carried out.
Both smoke alarms in club house seem to be faulty and I think it is down to pc to replace ?
On behalf of my committee we would like to say happy Christmas to all the parish councillors and all the best for 2020
Especially a thank you to you Clair for all your help during the year.
