OLD NEWS:

Break-in

Late on the night of Friday 4th February thieves forced their way into the club through what was thought to be a secured window of the Pavilion and broke into the club’s bar and store, as well as some of the out buildings. They stole cash and bottles of spirits (as well as cream eggs and maltesers!), only worth in total about £100, but the damage they caused was many times greater. Besides the damaged window and bars, there were damaged doors and locks; the till, the telephone, a drinks machine, gaming machine and the club’s pool table were totally wrecked, along with the club’s flat screen TV that had recently been donated to the club. Not content with this, the vandalism extended to leaving on the beer taps to empty out over the floor.

 

The damage was discovered early on Saturday morning by one of the tennis members; the police were called and scene of crime officers obtained what evidence they could. Members spent the rest of the day clearing up the mess and making the club secure again. Steve Drummond, Chairman of the club, said ‘This sort of thing is devastating for a club such as ours which is run for the benefit of the local community by volunteers on limited funds. Yes, we’ll recover, but it’s another set back; it’s so difficult to keep the facilities maintained and to improve them and now the club no longer has it’s TV and pool table. It’s very disheartening and I don’t know when or even if we’ll be able to afford replacements.’

 

60's Night at the Club

Despite having to clear up the mess from the break-in (thanks especially to Dave Cartwright for his sterling efforts at repairing so much of the damage) Pat and Sara managed to get the club ready for it's 60's night at which the group 'The JKPs' performed. Some 46 people, many in 60's 'drag', came to the event and danced the night away.

 

Ski Holiday

Seven members of the club went to Val D'Isere at the end of January for a week of skiing all organised by Sara - all had a great time and returned in one piece thankfully, especially as some were playing in tennis matches the week after.
