NEWS ROUND UP
P&TG Lawn Tennis Club
At the time of writing we are extremely excited
to be planning to re-open the courts to our
members on 29th March. It has been such a
strange year, there have been long periods
where we have been unable to play and have
walked past the empty courts in the sunshine,
and then also long periods where lots of us have
been working from home and able to play much
more regularly than normal life allows!
We will be arranging a number of events and
friendly competitions over the next few months
for our members to make the most of the spring
and summer months (British weather
permitting, of course!). We are also hoping to be
able to plan a belated celebration for our 60th
birthday last year.
NEW MEMBERS – Our membership renews
annually on 1st April so this is the perfect time
to join. If you are interested in joining us, or
would like to get in touch please visit our
website at www.clubspark.lta.org.uk/PennTennis
or email ptgtennisclub@gmail.com for more
information. Kate Noble
P&TG Football Club
As we write this, we are none the wiser on exact
details, but we hopefully have light at the end of
the tunnel!
Following the governments announcement of
their roadmap, we expect football to return from
the 29th March. We are super excited to get all
the girls, boys, ladies and men back on the pitch
with a ball. For our senior sections, the leagues
have been voided for obvious reasons ( our first
team played just 5 league games so far!) but
there may be mini tournaments to engage the
players.
For the junior sections, league football will
return with a hope of of finishing seasons in

some way, with agreement from the FA to
continue into June. Unfortunately our annual
football tournament won’t go ahead though
For all players at the club, the opportunity to
return to training, safely, is a major step to
normality. We will do all we can as a club, as
before, to ensure a safe return for everybody,
and we are so looking forward to seeing the
smiles, and the net ripple!
This year we are delighted that our close
working relationships with our key partner
venues Beaconsfield High School & Sir William
Ramsey, will enable us to train for as long as
possible, and give us the opportunity to prepare
and perfect our grounds, while giving our
neighbours more opportunity to enjoy the
British summertime
Off the pitch we will reopen the bar for
outside entertainment from the 12th April and
indoors shortly afterwards subject to
government guidance. It’s been extremely tough
financially on the whole club to have our key
source of revenue taken away for a large
majority of the year, so we look forward to and
welcome your support when we re-open. With
so many unknowns over the forthcoming
months, once again we will not be hosting our
amazing beer festival this year, but rest assured
we have some mini beer and music events that
you will not want to miss. More details to come
when we can!
We are hopeful that this years fireworks
display will take place, as an important
community & charity event, which we hope to
confirm as we enter some form of normality.

P&TG Cricket Club PLUS pics
With Easter upon us, the cricket season is now
just around the corner and despite inevitable
cold hands and heavy sweaters, it will still feel
good to get out on the field of play once more,
roadmap out-of-lockdown permitting
Those words were unimaginable just 14
months ago but have become part of our
vocabulary in the time since then. The
