Around Our Club
WELCOME to our April newsletter.
Hope you all enjoyed the Easter and school holidays. The season is winding up and all our teams are now preparing for the
coming finals. Recently I was reminded about the growth in our club and the amount of people at training. I took time to
reflect this as I have been making enquiries about hiring another venue for training as we have out grown the number of
courts available at the stadium on Mondays. Next season we plan on entering 17 teams and must be able to provide
training facilities for them. On reflecting I remembered when we first started training, it was with 3 players on half of court 4
on a Tuesday afternoon. So we have gone from 3 players at training to what we have now. Wow, what a reflection. Have a
look around you next time you are at training and appreciate the hard work of every member of our club, you all should be
proud of our achievements. Please remember that our success is not measured by the number of premiership but the
number of players who turn up each week.
Good luck to all our teams for the upcoming finals. Go Newlands, we are all proud of each and every person associated with our wonderful club.
CHOCOLATE DRIVE
Our chocolate drive has been a success although we have some boxes remaining and some people still to return their money. Please see Vivian at training if you wish to return chocolate money or take another box. The winner of the competition will be announced when all boxes are sold.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Positions are still available on both the Junior and Senior committees. Meetings are conducted monthly on Monday after training. Come along and learn more about our club please remember that it is your club as well. Come along and help direct this great club because it belongs to all of us including you. You are challenged with the responsibility of ensuring our club remains the best. Please see myself or Liz for further details about these
positions.
