Message from our Treasurer Robin Smith
A gentle reminder to all members that the standard subscription is now £30 per annum. However, for those long standing members, over 70, who have ceased playing but are still keen to contribute to their club, the committee has agreed that the previous subscription of £15 may be used. Would members who have so far omitted to update their subscription of £30 per annum please contact their Bank now to change their Standing Order.
Please contact the Treasurer Robin Smith if you have any information regarding the following:
- anyone using Currency Solution to pay their subscription;
- who has paid their sub by AFTS under the title 'Mr C & Mrs LM'?;
- identification of a sub under 'Hann mid kent or'.

Message from our new Chairman
Firstly, I would like to thank my predecessor Jeremy Woods for all his hard work in helping the club move forward.
Since my appointment in February it has been a busy few months, especially for Graham our Secretary and his wife Caroline.
It was a bumpy road getting the match fixture list together but with all hands on deck the turbulence is finally over.
Our Annual Cocktail Party during the Wimbledon Championships was a great success with approximately 200+ attending on a tropical evening. It is the highlight of our social calendar and is becoming more popular every year.
We are modernising our Web Site with the help of Jim Whittaker and Phil Tovey, so please spread the word to have a look. Good luck in your tennis and I hope you all have a successful season.
