<div class="column">
The Minutes were agreed as a true record. <span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial,Bold'; font-size: 11.000000pt;"><b>Matters Arising: </b></span></span><br />

</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">John L had received an email from Tom Brockbank, tennis coach, with
details of indoor sessions at the Lakes School. The lessons start on Monday
11 February and there are five places left. Judy P will send a copy to all
members.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;"></span><b><span style="font-family: 'Arial,Bold'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Chairman’s Report: </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Charlotte W reported that regulars continued to use the court throughout
2012 but gener</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">ally it hasn’t been used that much</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">. In her opinion the court
was in need of repair or resurfacing. This was agreed unanimously. It had
been 8 years since the previous re-surface and at the time of renewal it was
expected to last 10 years. Charlotte W will give John L details to enable him
to seek quotations for resurfacing. It may be that a repaint is all that is
needed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Charlotte W also requested ideas to deal with the trees surrounding the
court. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">The summer evening drinks in the Club House were very successful. The
costs were covered and it had been a very sociable event. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">The Strawberry Tea had not been as well attended, </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">but the Club’s Tombola
</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">stall had provided welcome funds to support the Field Committee.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">The Wimbledon ballot had been successful with some excellent choice of
days drawn for the Club, at the Tournament. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Charlotte W thanked members of the Committee for all their support during
her time as Chairman and extended her thanks to all members who had
turned out to help at events. She felt that for a small Club there was great
enthusiasm and support. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">In anticipation of Charlotte </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">W’s </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">retirement as Chairman, all attending
members were unanimous in their thanks to her.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Sarah R provided all present with a copy of the accounts and informed
Members that funds tend to increase by approximately £1000 a year but in
2012 it had only been £842.96. There is a surplus of £5611.97. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Thanks were extended to Steve and Jo A for hosting the Christmas drinks
event and their generosity in not accepting any reimbursement for costs. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Membership is made up of 44 families and 5 adults.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Following a query regarding ‘Visitors’ fees, it was confirmed that these go to
</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">the Field Committee. The total amount for the year had been £50.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Sarah R recommended that subscription fees remain the same and this was
agreed.</span><br />

Chris T. All were in favour.

was seconded by Ian Tomlinson. All were in favour. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">John L proposed that Jo A and Val N become members of the Committee.
This was seconded by Charlotte W and all were in favour.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Sarah R stood down as Treasurer and will not remain on the Committee.
John L will contact possible candidates for a new Treasurer, and hopefully

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">One class in the summer coaching had been missed due to bad weather.
Chris T said that if classes were missed in the winter course, and it was not
the students fault, a refund was paid.

Summer. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Chris T reported that there is a </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">website called ‘Active Cumbria’ </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">which is
provided by a network of local agencies committed to increasing participation
in sport and physical activity. Chris was keen that as many people as
possible request indoor tennis facilities on the site to increase the chances of
obtaining this facility. The link to the site will be sent to Members under
separate cover.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">A suggestion that an online booking system be set up for the Club was
approved, and this will be taken forward to the Committee. </span><br />

MeetingThe Next Crosthwaite & Lyth Tennis Club Commitee meeting will be at 7:30 pm on the 9 February 2011, at The Punchbowl, Underbarrow.Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04813010079739407404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381310676200559449.post-45205904636883543862009-03-14T03:17:00.000-07:002009-03-14T03:19:26.365-07:00Spring Newsletter 2009Dear Members,<br /><br />Following the AGM last week I’m writing to let you know what is proposed for the tennis club during 2009.<br /><br />Firstly, the membership is being maintained at a very healthy level but if you know of any potential new members, please put them in touch with our membership secretary, Charlotte Webb. The court is also in good playing condition and thanks go to those who helped to sweep it on the two maintenance sessions held over the winter. It would be very nice to see a few more of you at these sessions and some different faces!<br /><br />It was decided to keep membership rates at the same very reasonable level, (£35 for family, £25 for adult, £10 for junior membership) and for those of you who are not on a standing order and have not yet paid could you please do so without delay, posting the fee to Charlotte Webb at Stonegarth, Crosthwaite LA8 8HT. Guest fees also remain the same at £2 which should be put in the honesty box before playing.<br /><br />Coaching will be taking place this year and Dan Shiels is just finalising the details so you should be hearing further about this very soon. If you are interested please sign up promptly as it is always popular and places are limited. The coaching will probably finish in June with a social event for all members which will be publicised nearer the time. A barbecue is also planned for Sunday 6th September from 1pm and the Recreation Field Strawberry Tea will take place on Sunday 12th July so I’m giving you plenty of early warning that I shall be pestering you for raffle prizes please!!<br /><br />For those of you who have benefited from the coaching, or maybe you were already a good player, how about joining the mixed team to play in the Kendal mixed doubles league? We need 3 pairs of players and our home matches are at Windemere St Anne’s School. Matches start in April, running through to July and you do not have to play every week. If you require more information please contact Wendy French.<br /><br />Wimbledon tickets are being distributed by the LTA in a different way this year as they have sent us an allocation based on the number of club members who have joined British Tennis and they are available only to British Tennis members. Our allocation is as follows: Thurs 25 June, court 2, 2 tickets £80 per pair; Friday 26 June, court 1, 2 tickets £110; Monday 29 June, 2 tickets court 2, £100; Wed 1 July, 2 tickets, court 1, £140 and Thurs 2 July, 2 tickets, court 1, £92. If you are interested please inform me by Friday 20 March including your British Tennis membership number and which dates you are interested in. Following the LTA guidelines for distribution of tickets, your names will then go into a club ballot and you will be informed whether your application was successful by Sunday 22 March.<br /><br />Some new cupboards have been erected in the pavilion for the tennis club to store equipment away a bit more tidily.<br /><br />Finally, at the AGM Patrick Boggan and I both stated our intention to stand down as Chairman and Secretary at the end of this year after 8 years. If anyone is interested in taking over either of these posts, which do not require a lot of work, please let us know. Don’t worry that you might have to do the job forever as we are considering a revolving system with a maximum of 2 years in any post. It would be great to have some new faces on the committee and support from those of you who play fairly frequently.<br /><br />Here’s hoping for some dry weather to make 2009 a good tennis season,<br /><br />Best wishes from Charlotte Denton 10.03.09Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04813010079739407404noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381310676200559449.post-28496755050350239022009-01-25T06:32:00.000-08:002009-01-25T06:42:18.791-08:00AGMThis years Annual General Meeting is to be held at 7 pm, 4 March 2009, at The Punchbowl, Underbarrow.<br />The meeting is open to all members.
