Club Update (15th February)

Dear Member,

Now that the snow and freezing weather has departed, we can look forward to higher temperatures by the coming weekend and, undoubtedly, with better weather we turn our thoughts toward Spring.

The national vaccination effort seems to be progressing with speed and I have spoken to a number of members that have already received at least one jab. It is the growth of the vaccine roll-out that may bring an end to our forced confinement sooner than we might have expected. The next big date in the calendar is the Government’s announcement regarding easing of the lockdown restrictions in the week commencing 22nd February.

The LTA have been canvassing hard to resume some level of adult and junior tennis at the earliest time and we share their enthusiasm to get back some sport to the Club’s facilities. The websites of the ECB, Squash England, Hockey England, and the FA are quieter currently – but we look forward to hearing from these organising bodies soon.

We will continue with our work on the Club’s facilities ready for your return but, until we know more, please keep safe and stay well.

Owen Gregory
