Enfield Lawn Tennis Club Established 1907 | 71 The Ridgeway, Enfield, Middlesex, EN2 8NA

Hello everyone and welcome to the new club year. Particularly those new members.
With the weather starting to get brighter hopefully more of you will get the chance to play a bit more over coming months.
We had a committee meeting last week and here a few buts that everyone should be aware of:

• Thursday May 7th – the clubhouse is being used for a polling station for the elections so will out of action, but the courts are available
• Saturday May 23rd – Quiz Night hosted by Jim. There is a notice is the clubhouse. If you are interested in coming but don’t have a place on a table then let us know please
• Club Tournament – signup by the May 9th to play in our Club tournaments. Either reply back or sign up on the sheets in the clubhouse. Finals day will be Saturday July 11th and Juniors day will be Sunday July 12th. This year – in a change to tradition – we plan to have an Open Singles Tournament (mixed) and then 3 doubles tournaments (Mixed, Men’s and Womens)
• June/July – Fun tournament, BBQ and then some music from Lost Chimes on one Saturday
• Summer Leagues – we have one women’s team and two men’s teams this summer. We would love more people to get involved with these so please to contact us if you want to get involved. They are mid week games with 630/7 start against local clubs. Matches get priority on evenings so please be aware on courts if they seem bust that it may be a match

Finally, I would like to thank all those who have handed out leaflets to promote the club. We now have several new members as a result. 

As ever, the club is organised and run by volunteers and if more people get involved it will be better for everyone. If you have ideas on events, we could run or ways to improve the club, then please do let us know and help us deliver them.
See you on court soon.
Jon

We also ran our first Sunday Singles Speed event where 8 of us played each other. Everyone enjoyed playing singles and a repeat will be happening soon.

Back in February we had our Tournament Prize Winners evening where Rick from our sponsors came and gave out the trophies and awards. Here are a few pictures of the winners receiving their trophies.

Last night we had a comedy show at the club where an ex professional umpire and linesperson came and shared some stories of her time. Pauline Eyre was here to test her material before taking it to Edinburgh and then out on a tour. It was great to see so many from the club involved and made a different night for the club. If you missed out, Pauline promised to come back with the polished show so maybe you can come make the next one.

Thanks to Pauline and for those who came.
