First, Camber will be fielding a team at the neighbouring cricket club’s quiz this Saturday 28 March. We’ve been before and it is a very good night, with food included for just £10. Meet at their pavilion up beside Court 2 for a 7.30pm start. We came close to winning last time so will be aiming to improve on that this time round! If you can make it please let Debbie know on debzcoo@hotmail.com.

Still on upcoming events, there will be an American Tournament at the club on Easter Sunday, 5 April. 3pm start, there will be a small entry charge of £2-3 with cakes, eggs and an optional visit to a local pub afterwards.

Second, as many of you know our current Head Coach, David White, is leaving the position this summer. We have advertised the position widely, but all applications are welcome so if you know anyone who might be interested please direct them to the relevant page on our website: http://www.tennis-at-camber.org/headcoach/.

Meanwhile I’m very pleased to report that Gianluca passed his Level 3 coaching qualification a couple of weeks ago – this is a great achievement that involves a lot of work, so many congratulations to him.

Finally a quick word or two back from the AGM: there were some changes in the club’s officers with the new list as below. Please get in contact with any of us at any time if you want to raise something about the club. Full minutes from the AGM have also now been finalised and are attached – again if there is anything you would like more information on just let me know.
