Sportivate
Coach Glyn Smith and some of the participants at our
Sportivate sessions. This course was part of a Sport England scheme to
encourage 14-25 year olds to participate in regular sport.
We've had a bid to run a similar programme in
spring/ summer 2012 accepted, so if you know of anyone who might be interested, or might be
able to publicise it at your school or college watch this space. |

Finals Day
A huge crowd crammed the terrace
to watch some gripping and skilful tennis. The under 12 title went to Esther
Jones, who beat Bradley Smith in straight sets. Sean Yates won the under 16s
beating Bradley as well. Tom Fenoughty retained the Mens singles, beating
Glyn Smith in a tense 3 set match. Jayne Jenkinson regained the Ladies
singles from last year’s winner Diane Watson in 2 hard fought sets. Tom
triumphed again in the Mens doubles, partnering Cristi Onisa to a close 3
set win over Harvey Sutton and Phil Whelan. In the Ladies doubles Ruth
Walker and Lynne Kirkham beat Danielle Gaynor and Georgina Taylor, and in
the Mixed, Judith Sharpe and Glyn Smith beat Esther Jones and Gavin Rocket
in another close 3 setter. |

Work Schedule Key Dates
Monday 23rd April:
Floodlighting work starts; courts unavailable.
Tuesday 1st May: Resurfacing work commences; courts still
unavailable.
Tuesday 15th May: Resurfacing work completed – courts may
be available for use if weather is OK. i.e. temperatures not
warm enough to soften tarmac.
Monday 5th June: Courts ready to paint, but a dry week is
needed, so painting will start at the first forecast of a dry
week after this date. Following painting, the courts need a week
to dry before they can be played on.
While ever our courts are unavailable we have arranged to be
able to use Ravenfield Tennis Clubs courts. Apart from Sunday
mornings and Thursday evenings, we’ll have the same access and be able to run the same
sessions as we do at Moorgate
