chair’s report continuedAs I have said before, new beginnings are sometimes necessary, especially with new leaders of ourChurches. They play an important role in guiding <strong>the</strong> <strong>Village</strong>.At long last <strong>the</strong> Hospital has now begun its role in caring for us and, as I write this, patients arebeing transferred into <strong>the</strong> new hospital - firstly women and children, <strong>the</strong>n by <strong>the</strong> end of summerit will be completely up and running. What an achievement it is for all of <strong>the</strong> services involved.I am very grateful to <strong>the</strong> patience of our residents who have coped with <strong>the</strong> traffic and parkingissues created by <strong>the</strong> initial building works.Due to work commitments several of our PVN distributors are struggling with <strong>the</strong>ir rounds.Does anyone have two hours a quarter to help us deliver <strong>the</strong> magazine? If you have, please couldyou kindly ring <strong>the</strong> Clerk’s office and your offer will be gratefully accepted.Thank you, as always, for your advice, suggestions and, justly, being proud of <strong>Pembury</strong>.Happy Easter to all.June Crowhurst,Chair, <strong>Pembury</strong> Parish Councilpembury tennis academyI am very pleased to announce that this year, thanks to <strong>Pembury</strong> ParishCouncil, I am launching ‘<strong>Pembury</strong> Tennis Academy’ in our RecreationGround.I am a PTR licensed tennis coach and Premier qualified personaltrainer with CRB and First Aid certificates. Currently, I am a residenttennis coach at <strong>the</strong> Nevill Tennis Club in Tunbridge Wells where I havebeen for several years.I started playing tennis at <strong>Pembury</strong> Tennis Club when I was about eight years old, when <strong>the</strong>rewas a thriving junior club. As a <strong>Pembury</strong> resident, living adjacent to <strong>the</strong> Recreation Ground,I feel that I could now put our currently under-used tennis courts to beneficial use for all.I have seen how successful <strong>the</strong> football for children in <strong>Pembury</strong> has been. By promoting tennisfor all, from toddlers to teenagers and adults to retirees, I would like to see <strong>the</strong> same enthusiasmfor tennis.Following an initial half-term Junior Tennis Camp during February, <strong>the</strong>re will be after school andweekend squads for juniors and morning and weekend coaching sessions for adults.I would also like to establish ladies and gents ‘drop-in’ social tennis mornings. Private coachingsessions are also available.
