March 2012 Newsletter

 

Dear Member

           

I would like to welcome you to Oakham Tennis Club for the 2012/2013 year. We are a friendly tennis club with members of all ages and abilities.  We endeavour to provide tennis from a friendly social game to competitive matches. Our excellent coaches can provide private lessons, where the work can be more focused and intense (!) or group lessons, where there is the opportunity to meet other players.

We have held membership fees for the past four years (main categories) and now feel a small increase is necessary to cover expenses and meet rising costs.

We have reapplied for planning permission for floodlights on three courts and this has been agreed at the first stage.  This is tremendous news and will secure the future of the Club.  We are presently working hard to get through the next stages of the process and will keep you informed of developments via our website.
