Social Activities - 2012/2013
Wednesday 12th September
First club night
Old club members retrieved their rackets from where they left
them last March. Also, we welcome some new members, who (or
possibly whom) we hope will enjoy their season with us.
Friday 16th November
Quiz Night
Twenty-five souls braved the drizzle and mist to turn out for
this event. Quizmaster (or perhaps mistress) Debbie Baker fed out
the questions and by the penultimate round, only a few points
separated the teams. The decider was the James Bond set,
where the Jackson 5 displayed a worryingly encyclopedic knowledge
of Bond babes and villains to finish first on 135 points. Graham
Baker thanked Debbie Baker and Linda for their help, and those who
donated prizes for the raffle.
Wednesday 19th December
Christmas Fun Tournament
Joviality reigned as the handicap tournament took place, leading
to a win for Ruth & David, below.
Jenny & Steve kept the scoring close but not quite close
enough, becoming this year's runners up.
Graham Baker and Linda, inexplicably not dressed up in Santa
and Elf costumes, brought the evening to a close by dispensing presents from a Big Bag of Stuff.
Sunday 23rd December
Sponsored swim
Reported just before Christmas was Hannah's planned swim of 650 lengths
at Sidmouth pool. This was to raise funds for her work experience trip to
Prague. We never doubted her for a moment, and our confidence was rewarded
when she completed the task. She said 'it was quite difficult', but then
worthwhile achievements often are. So, sponsors, it's time to get your
wallets and purses out.
Wednesday 27th March
End of Season Tournament
My intrepid reporter reports that a good crowd of members and
visitors arrived for the event, giving an enthusiastic atmosphere for
the evening. Graham Baker organised the handicaps, which ensured many
close and exciting games. Eventual tournament winners were the team of
Nick Gidley and Paul Carter.
Friday 26th April
Exeter & District league Presentation Evening
The annual end of season bash is being held at
The Centre Spot, Exeter City Football Club,
St James Road, Exeter, EX4 6PU. Detailed details are on the poster (pdf format). If you fancy a night out, see Graham
or Linda for tickets. Or, independently minded souls can contact the
League direct - see the previously mentioned poster (its still in pdf format). Either way the price
is £10.
Unfortunately, too many people are on holiday or have prior
commitments, so the committee have decided to cancel the event. We hope to
organise another night in September or October.
This year's AGM will be held at Sidford Tennis Club, Byes Lane, Sidford, starting at 7.30pm. All members should have received an agenda, but if you haven't got one, contact Linda for a copy.
Clubs don't run themselves, people do. If you want to help out, give some
serious consideration to volunteering yourself for an Officer or Committee
Member position. Fill in the form at the bottom of the Agenda and get it
to Linda by 21st June.
Please try to attend, or at least pass any
comments about the club to a Committee Member for discussion at the
meeting.
