FOS|LTC Weekly News
While summer has officially ended, we are not letting the momentum fade. We are building for the Club’s future, and your participation in our events and activities continues to play a vital part in that journey. Please take a moment to see what is happening around the Club and get involved where you can.
The padel court construction remains firmly on track, and the refurbishment of the tennis courts is progressing well. Thank you for continuing to bear with us while these improvements take shape. The short‑term disruption will be well worth it once everything is complete.
It is also nearly time for our first AGM under the new Board. Hard to believe a year has almost passed. We are currently finalising the date, which is likely to now be in November, and format, and as soon as everything is confirmed we will let you know how the AGM will run and how members can take part.
On the sporting side, squash and tennis coaching continue in full flow, with plenty of group sessions available and opportunities to book private coaching if you prefer a more tailored approach. There are also plenty of gym classes to take, so do take a look at what’s on offer. Autumn is a great time to sharpen your game and keep fit.
We would like to thank At Your Place as they complete their first year running the Poolside Kitchen. The feedback has been fantastic, and although the kitchen is now closed for the season, they certainly haven’t gone anywhere. Liam and Natalie will continue catering for our events, including Sunday lunches and Martin’s unique Spanish food and wine evening. And of course, the bar remains open with a selection of food available.
With padel just around the corner (literally), we will soon be announcing our padel membership offering. It’s an exciting milestone and one we know many of you are looking forward to.
