NPL Tennis Club Teddington

Thanks to all who gave their valuable time to help clean up the tennis hut and surroundings on Saturday last, and especially: Bertie and Kevin (with enthusiastic help from some younger players!), who repainted the hut; Nan and Huw, who cleaned out and reordered the inside of the hut; Fiona and Robert C, who mercilessly ended the short lives of the weeds around the court; Rudi for rebuilding the strimmer and demonstrating the graceful art of strimming; Huw and Peter C who cleared up the years of rubbish which had collected around the hut; and Mike N who replaced the glass in the hut doors with laminated safety glass. Well done, and an NPL Drinking Voucher to all of you!

We’ve moved the Finals Day this season to September 6th, which we hope will enable more people to enter. Let’s make this season’s championship one for the whole club!

Applications are due by 5th May. You’ll find an application form with your newsletter. There’s also a pdf version attached to the subscription form to be found under “How to Join” on this site.

Tournament Organiser

The season’s first event - the Spring Tournament - proved a great success on Sunday 27th April and the weather was kind. The winners were Carolyn Wiseman and Rod Britton, who beat Veena Owen and Ruari Hamlin in the final by 6 games to 3. Thanks to all for your support and to Robert Clayton for his usual impeccable organisation.
