Please accept my apologies for not having mailed you since the Club’s AGM. I’ve finally found a few minutes, but primarily to send out a reminder about Club Membership fees, which are due as from the 1st April, 2009. You’ll be pleased to hear that it was the decision of those who attended the AGM that Club fees would remain the same for this year as last. There is a small reduction for certain categories of membership when paid before the end of April. These are shown on the list below. I’m sure that you all share some regret at the departure of Melissa from the Club scene having been appointed Head Coach at Penarth Windsor, her home club. Those who regularly attended her coaching sessions enjoyed her company and made progress under her tutelage. I can vouch for that as one who merely stood at court side. Best wishes to Melissa, Gareth and Sebastian. However, the committee has striven to find a new coach to continue and to develop the Club’s coaching programme. I am hopeful that we shall be able to make an announcement during the next week or so and trust that members, new and not so new, will take the opportunity to brush up on their game or to develop it further. If our quest is successful, I’m confident the new coach will serve us well, will have plenty of drive and could well be a smash hit at the Club and in the locality. Watch this space!!! Membership fees can be paid by mail to David Davies, Club Treasurer, 79, Tynybedw Street, TREORCI, CF42 6PY or given directly to Huw Williams (Chairman) at the Tennis Club. Cheques should be made payable to “Rhondda Tennis Club”. Those who for any reason choose not to renew their membership are kindly asked to return their court keys immediately, according to the agreement signed when keys were issued. The fees for 2009 – 10 are: Category Fee Discounted Fee Family £105.00 £100.00 (when paid before 30th April, 2009) Senior £68.00 £63.00 (when paid before 30th April, 2009) Unemployed/Social Players £47.00 £42.00 (when paid before 30th April, 2009) OAP/Social/Non-playing £5.00 Student (Full time) £27.00 Junior (10 – 18 years) £17.00 Cadet (Under 10 years) £9.00 We are all looking forward to a successful year, both on and off the court. New members are always welcome and former members hopefully will be able to find time to come back to the Club . Existing members are invited to introduce one, or more, new members to the Club. Suggestions and offers of help are always welcome. There’s always something to do!! Very shortly, a work party will be tackling the job of cleaning the courts, weeding the perimeter and cutting back any growth outside. Help will also be welcome to clear the Club compound of debris and cuttings that have accumulated. And that’s just for starters!! Then, there’s the Club house. It needn’t become a chore for a few. A fuller report of the AGM will be posted in the near future. Meanwhile, we wish our teams every success and enjoyment in the various leagues. We shall all follow their progress with great interest, I’m sure. To our Junior members who are working in preparation for their GCSE, AS and A level examinations we extend our best wishes, but hope they’ll find a little time away from their books! See you on court. Best wishes, Huw Williams (Club Chairman)

and Clubhouse The
Club courts will be cleaned before the start of the new summer season. The
wheels have long since been set in motion. It is now a question of being able to
forecast a dry couple of days so that the equipment can be hired and delivered.
I referred in my last newsletter to the need to have a work party to clear
around the courts. Perhaps it would be better to do that work before the
cleaning operation is done. Huw
