EARLYBIRD MEMBERSHIP – 48 Hours remaining

Early Bird Membership is available for just 48 hours, then it will return to Full Price. (This gives adults a £10 reduction and juniors a £5 reduction).

If you have not re-newed before the 1st April the system automatically ‘lock’s you out of booking courts, social play etc. For Juniors this also mean’s you cannot book onto the new term after Easter.

PLEASE REMEMBER WE DO NOT DO MEMBERSHIP THROUGH CLUBSPARK OR THE LTA

IF JOINING AS A FAMILY DO NOT USE THE FAMILY MEMBERSHIP BUTTON BUT CONTACT: secretary.shltc.info

It is done through THIS website, for people experiencing problems please sign out of the account and then sign in when doing membership.

Please be patient with Caroline and Frances during this busy time of year, they will process your membership as fast as they can! A change for this year is you will pay online at the time of filling in your membership form, which should speed up the process.

If you are a team member don’t forget to renew your membership before your first game of the Summer Season!

EASTER SUNDAY 5TH APRIL AMERICAN TOURNAMENT 2.30 to 4.30pm

Members are very welcome to come and join in. They will be sent a link to book. Hope to see you there

JUNIOR EASTER HOLIDAY PROGRAMME

You can still book onto the Junior Easter Programme. As usual you can book just one day, or all available, days run from 10am – 3pm. Open to all levels aged 7-13 years. Other family members and friends can join in the school holiday sessions, so its a great way to try out the sport and the club before deciding if you wish to join as a full member. Don’t forget to send your Juniors with refillable water bottles, lots of layers including water proof ones and plenty of food and snacks (just not nuts please in case anyone has an allergy). The link to coach Tom’s page on clubspark to book is below;

JUNIOR EASTER EGGS-TRAVAGANZA

 

What a lot of Easter fun was had by all the Juniors on Saturday afternoon, despite the cold. Easter Crafts, Egg Hunt and a Tournament. Thanks to everyone on the Social Committee for supporting the event. Special thanks to Stacey & Ryan for organising and who knew splitting tennis balls was such hard work! Thanks to Lauren and Anthony for their on the day support with the organising, crafts etc. Stacey took lots of photos and I will put them into a folder on our Facebook page later this week, once she has had a chance to sort through them all. There are lots of beautiful photos from what I have seen so far. I think this event will become a firm favorite with the Juniors on our yearly calendar. And to anyone who finds their tennis ball doesn’t bounce quite right this week, check inside who knows the Easter Bunny may have left you and Easter Egg inside too!

TEAM OPEN EVENING

Thank you and well done to everyone who participated in the Team Open Evening, we had a lot of new players wishing to join teams.
