March / April 2010: 2010 AGM
The AGM will be held at 3 Greenlands, Flackwell Heath on 24th April at 7pm. A light supper will be provided but please bring your own drinks. For the full agenda see the news pages
I hope to see as many of you as possible on the evening. |
| January 2010:
Unfortunately in the cold snap we had a burst pipe in the club house, so there are no facilities (neither toilets nor tea making) available at the courts in the near future. |
October 2009: Autumn Season
Now that the clocks have gone back, the Wednesday session is between 2pm and 4pm. Please try to support this as sometimes it has been poorly attended even when the weather has been excellent. The Thursday and Sunday morning sessions continue as usual even though John Bryant's presence is missed. I've spoken to him and he continues to progress after what has been a trying experience for him. Fortunately his high level of fitness has hugely assisted in his recovery and he hopes to make the Christmas lunch and we all look forward to seeing him there. I'd like to thank Simon and Matt for their help with the Saturday Training sessions, and Simon again for the Finals Day competition, also Julia for her sterling work on the day, not to mention her patience and endurance. We'll be giving some thought to this for next year as it did go on for too long and one of the considerations is to change to a format of best of three sets, each set winner being the 1st to, say, 21 points. This number may need some adjustment, so your comments please. I should also like comments regarding the removal, or severe cutting back of the hedge betwen the courts and the playing field. In it's favour would be that the increased air circulation would help the courts to dry after rain, and visibility of the courts would help reduce vandalism and help make people aware that we exist, we'd not loose so many balls either. Against is loss of privacy and increased wind disturbance. Please set up a userid on the new discussion board, and let us all know what you are thinking |
July 2009: Summer Season
Wimbledon is over for another year, with virtually no rain and a thrilling men's singles final which left many of us feeling sorry for Andy Roddick. But the £400k+ he received will, no doubt, soothe his disappointment.
The hot weather has unfortunately brought another spate of vandalism at the courts, so may I request all court users to ensure that the gates are locked after use, and not to pass the lock code onto anyone. We will probably have to change it again soon. One of the net posts is away for repair, but should be back shortly. Thanks to John Bryant for arranging this.
Whilst we are unlikely to match the thrills of Wimbledon, and certainly not the prize money, our own competitions start soon. Do please enter, it is fun, you're amongst friends and we have a good finals day to look forward to with a barbeque and bar.
Enjoy your sport. |
March 2009: Welcome to the new FHLTC Website.
There is lots of information here, but if you would like something additional, please email the relevant committee member. Although the courts are available to hire to non members by booking with the video shop in the village, I would like to welcome you as a member - the benefits of membership are listed here. We run internal competitions, which cater for all standards of play, so come along for a taster session where you will be made most welcome. Wear the appropriate clothing - we can lend you a racket if you don't have one. So why not pop along and have a cup of tea and a knock around. |
