North Dulwich Lawn Tennis Club
154a East Dulwich Grove • North Dulwich, London • SE22 8TB
Hi everyone, just a quick introduction, some updates and a big welcome to all our new members.
As the finer weather might soon be upon us, and we slowly open up further after the closures. I would like to inform you of some club plans and dates for the summer months.
As pandemic restrictions lift, we are intending to open social play again and make it easier for everyone to attend. At the moment we are restricted with tracing procedure limits (to six pre-booked players per court), but we can soon return to allowing unlimited numbers to drop in on our social play sessions.
The club championship tournaments are about to begin (registration for those is now closed) and the box league is back in action. Good luck to all! Finals day for the championships will be on Sept 25th so we look forward to some entertaining tennis over the next few weeks.
We are also reintroducing fun Friday night socials. The bar is now open on Fridays for outdoor drinks and hopefully people will want to come along to enjoy some post social refreshments. This coming Friday is still restricted to those booked and registered to play, but from 21st May non-playing members are also able to come down for a catch-up.
Dates for your diary:
23rd May - Working party for the Karla memorial
The committee felt, as I’m sure everybody connected with the club does, that it was fitting to create a memorial for Karla, a much loved member who so tragically died last year. Peter and Gary have already started the work but we thought many of you might like the opportunity to help with the project - to be personally involved in completing a tribute to someone who is missed by so many of us and who gave so much to the club over many years. The spot chosen overlooks court three, and is a perfect place for some quiet reflection, to enjoy the scenery or just to watch some tennis. I think Karla would very much approve. Help is needed with digging, path laying and hedge maintenance. Please do come along.
31st May - American tournaments
Specific dates to be announced throughout the summer, starting with the bank holiday.
3rd July - Club and Karla Day
This day will be full on with relaxed coaching sessions, new racquets to try, fastest serve competition, games, food and table stalls, cardio, bar, music and a late party afterwards. Bands to be announced. A great day to celebrate the club with a chance to remember Karla as she would like to be remembered. Full details to follow.
New entry code
From noon on Thursday 20th May, the code for the front gate will be 1910. The inner gate code will remain 6837. Please don’t share entry codes in watsapp or other groups. Only ever share directly with another NDLTC member.
LTA survey
All members will shortly be receiving an LTA survey via email. It’s part of the club’s ongoing relationship with the LTA to give them feedback. The LTA provide us with funding and other important support, so please make time to complete it.
Housekeeping
There is a noticeable increase in litter on the courts. Please please please take your litter home with you. Everything left lying around has to be cleared up by someone else. Those razor sharp ball tube lids are a particular hazard.
It’s wonderful to be playing again, and here’s to a good summer and a great year for us all at North Dulwich. If you have any questions or comments, do please contact me or any of the Committee.
