Festive Season - What's on this December

Our 2025 Festive plans are now ready to share! There is plenty to look forward to for all ages so have a peek and start planning your December!

 

The ever popular London Shopping Trip takes place on Thursday 13th November and is available to book now.  Our Social Events will be open for bookings from 11am on Wednesday 8th October and other events will be on sale shortly after so keep your eyes peeled!

Notice to Members: Trustee Transition

We would like to inform our members that Dr Chris Brady has stepped down from his role as Chairperson due to his term of office coming to an end. 

 

We are deeply grateful for his leadership and dedication throughout this important process especially following the successful completion of the company’s transition to charitable status. 

 

We are pleased to announce that Paul Leggat will be succeeding Dr Brady as Chairperson. 

 

Members will have the opportunity to meet Paul at our upcoming Meet the Trustee Evening on Monday 13th October 2025 at 6:30pm. Spaces are still available—please book by calling Reception on 01202 519455 or emailing info@westhants.co.uk.

  

As a reminder, we are currently recruiting additional trustees. If you are interested in contributing to the future of the charity, please send your CV and a personal statement to sandra.edwards@westhants.co.uk by 31st October 2025, and if you’d like to find out more before applying, we could also arrange a chat with one of our existing trustees. A role description is available here.

 

Club Championships

Late last month, we were treated to some first class tennis matches courtesy of members competing in the 2025 Finals - click here to see the results.  A huge well done to our winners - Tommy, Ece, Aiden & Wendy, Luke & Phil, and Wendy & Olivia and thank you to all those that participated and supported the players!

 

Indoor court bookings

As in previous years the booking of indoor courts can be difficult in late Autumn and Winter, and I would like to remind all members that use is restricted to 5 hours per week. This includes all tennis activities such as free play, coaching (individual and group) and organised club sessions.  Please remember that none of the 5 hours can be used consecutively for any activity.  The full rules are available on our website - click here.

 

Car Park Courtesy

Have you noticed our freshly painted lines marking out the parking bays?  Please park considerately, within the bays, out of courtesy to your fellow members.  Please also remember that the entry and exit are one way only!

 

Thank you

As always, thank you for your continued support.  Please remember, if you have any feedback to share, please complete a form at Reception or click here to email us.

Best wishes,


Peter D Elviss

Chief Executive

PS. Date for your diary - our annual charity Spinathon will take place on Wednesday 3rd December!
