Merry Christmas to all our members!

 The Misterton tennis management team would like to wish all our members a Happy Christmas and New Year.

If you come down to the club over Christmas for a gentle hit to burn off a few calories you will see the new extension.

We all would like to thank Peter Smith and Graham for the many hours they have spent on the construction.

Along with members who also gave up their time, we have built and assembled an excellent addition to our facilities ready to have the toilet, plumbing and electrical fittings installed in the New Year.

We will be looking for volunteers again in January to help us fit out the inside so we have the whole thing ready to have an opening ceremony in the spring.

If there is anything you would like us to do next year in the way of events or functions or would like to see something done please let us know, ideally through the website.

We appreciate your membership and look forward to seeing you in 2019!

 

Cold Weather – watch out!

As the weather gets colder make sure you empty the kettles before leaving the clubhouse just in case we have a freeze overnight.

We will probably have some residual heating in the clubhouse once the extension is completed but until then let’s take precautions to avoid damage.

If the weather is forecasted to go below zero Carol or Graham will be turning off the water to prevent flooding or plumbing damage.
