SAD NEWS

It was our privilege at SHLTC to have met Louise Wood. Louise was amazing, with a no nonsense attitude, a kindness composed of wisdom and a happy disposition that emitted from grace and goodness. Louise was one of the most amazing people who less than a year ago developed an aggressive cancer, and died peacefully at the Bexley and Greenwich hospice on 15.4.23

There will be a Memorial American on 1st May 2 – 4pm and her daughters will be presenting the trophy. An invite will go out to all members with a link to book.

NEW OUTDOOR FURNITURE

The rest of the outdoor table and chairs arrived last week, ready for the Mixed Doubles this coming weekend. So fingers crossed the weather is better and we can try it all out!
