COMMUNITY NEWS<br />

CSP Tennis Club<br />

bringing the<br />

community together!<br />

On Sunday 8th February Chalfont<br />

St Peter Tennis Club suffered huge<br />

damage from the wrath of storm Ciara.<br />

It was lucky that friends of the club spotted the<br />

clubhouse roof shifted as a result of storm Ciara<br />

and the torrential rain pouring into the interior.<br />

One can only imagine scenes from Wizard of Oz<br />

ensuing! Local roofer Geoff Rogers, the chairman<br />

of the committee, Mike Bird and two of his dog<br />

walking friends kindly helped lift the roof back on<br />

and batten the felt down to prevent further water<br />

gushing into the clubhouse.<br />

Despite the clubhouse being currently out of<br />

bounds, club members still congregated on<br />

Valentines morning to hold an American drive<br />

tournament. It was back to the 1930’s with no<br />

running water or toilet facilities! The clubhouse<br />

is slowly being fixed and luckily the 4 Tiger Turf<br />

courts have not been affected.<br />

The club instils a sense of belonging and holds<br />

a true community spirit for all those that are<br />

members. Their annual charity fundraisers are very<br />

successful and this year have decided to help the<br />

CSP Community Centre re-build. Their annual<br />

open day has been set for Sunday 26th <strong>April</strong> and<br />

to celebrate Victory in Europe 75th anniversary,<br />

they are holding a free public event. See advert.<br />

The clubhouse may not be back to its original<br />

state for these events, but the people belonging<br />

to the club make it a true community hub - not<br />

just bricks and mortar. Come and see for<br />

yourself. For more information contact Paul:<br />

membership@chalfontstpetertennisclub.co.uk<br />

They welcome anyone looking to join and new<br />

adults can join for only £99 for the tennis season.<br />
