Hope everyone has been able to see the progress on the clubhouse to date and how great it now looks.

We are starting to see the benefit of the full-length windows that overlook the courts - ready for viewing tennis on those not so warm days. Our fabulous new doors out to the patio and BBQ area are ready for some alfresco post-match suppers. The new corridor is taking shape and soon we will be able to access toilets, light meters and the computer without disturbing those using the hall. The wooden hall flooring will be re-sanded and sealed to enable indoor mini tennis and exercise classes in a bigger, fresher, space. We'll be giving the bar a facelift and creating a coffee zone with self-service coffee/tea-making facilities - Ahhh smell the beans!

An active and dedicated team of volunteers have given many, many hours of voluntary time to share their professional skills to deliver the refurbishment to date - project management - financial advice - IT - architectural advice - interior design - bar and kitchen design. We are incredibly grateful for this support and now look to our wider pool of members for financial support as we seek to raise funds to fully complete the project.

Once the above structural work is complete, we need additional funds to furnish and carpet the interior of the clubhouse. Ideally, and whilst we have momentum, we would like to update the kitchen too.

By the end of August, we hope to have raised sufficient funds to allow us to:

- replace the cafe area tables and chairs

- create 3 comfortable 'snug' areas

- refurbish the kitchen

- replace the patio furniture

Please give generously to help us complete this amazing upgrade of your clubhouse. This is a great opportunity for you to help bring the clubhouse into the 21st century, in keeping with our fabulous courts. Let's make it a place of which we are all proud!
