As the start of the new season approaches we are delighted to tell you of the progress we have made in the club over the winter.

You have probably noticed that work is well under way to provide flood lighting for Courts 4 and 5 meaning we will have 5 lit courts to play on in the dark evenings. Keeping more of the people happy more of the time! Stage 2 of this project will follow soon. This will see the lights on court 3 much improved.

The snowy winter got the better of Jon Tregidgo [the old new head coach]. Sadly he resigned in the month that he took over and is now sitting in the sun in Australia.

We have not rested on our laurels, however, and we are delighted to announce that R2R are taking over and developing the coaching programme.  Jack Hubbard will be leading coaching at Oundle club with Simon Nathan and we expect to see coaching and match playing opportunities for both adults and juniors flourish.  Especially now we’ve got 5 floodlit courts!!

News will follow soon about contacting the Club Captain if you would like to play in the league teams. Volunteers to captain a team are always welcome please.

Club members Sophie Walker,  Peter Whight, and James Henley all represented the county at the U18 county cup this month. The Girls team came second and held their division 5 place. The boys won division 6 and gained promotion.

Wishing you all a good time on the tennis courts this coming year.

Oundle Tennis Club Committee.
