Thanks for all of your hard work Jen volunteering for the club.
Meeting with Councillor Hadi Saab
We met with Kingston City Councillor Hadi Saab and James Prideaux (Property Leader in Sports & Recreation). We discussed the key needs for our club including a replacement clubhouse, for courts 4 5 the need for new fences, court surfaces and lights, extra courts. Cr Saab was surprised we needed to hire courts at two other clubs for our senior teams. Council will confirm the priority of our clubhouse for replacement in their review of their 75 sports pavilions. We had a wide-ranging discussion and found the council to be receptive to our ideas.
I’d like to thank Damian Graf and Tony Withers for managing their coaching sessions to cater for the Council visit.

Thanks to Darrin, Geoff and Henry for their work last week in pruning the trees facing Le Page Street. We discussed with Council the approach to removing large scale green waste.
