Village Voice December 2019/January 2020
It is great to report that the summer leagues
also came to a close with our ladies 1st team
winning the top division and so are heading for
the premier division next summer which is
extremely exciting for our small village club.
Our Winter Vets leagues are now under way
but are being hampered by the persistent rain.
The ladies are doing well across the board,
including a newly formed 4th team as we have
so many ladies keen to play which is a great
testament to our club. The men’s teams have
managed to play a few matches away on clay
and tarmac courts which are not as popular as
our fantastic ‘tiger turf’ courts at home! The
mixed teams are doing well despite the rain.
Coming up, we will run a few popular events
over the Christmas period including a special
‘Club Night’ where members can come and
play in fancy dress and enjoy some mulled wine
and mince pies, and the annual ‘Over vs Under
30’s tournament’ which I am sure will be as
hotly contested as ever!
We always love to see new members. We
pride ourselves on being a really friendly club,
with a real mixture of abilities. We have lots of
sessions that members can drop into for Ladies,
Men’s and Mixed tennis. Juniors have drop in
coaching on a Saturday. Members and nonmembers
can access the excellent coaching with
Neil James. So if you are new to tennis or feel
like picking up your racquet again, please visit
www.penntennis.net to find out how you can get
involved. Kate Noble

The season so far for the senior team has been
mixed. After a slow start the first team went on
a strong run winning 9 out of their next 10
games, putting themselves in the chasing pack
at the top of the league and included the first
game in a long time against our local
neighbours Holmer Green, which we ran out as
winners. However October and November have
been disappointing, and we look to build and
make the season more like September !
