Welcome to all our new members.  It's great to have you with us.  If there is anything we can assist with, please let us know.

The Club's Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 29^th February at 7:00pm at the clubrooms.  All financial members are welcome to attend.  Documents relating to the meeting, including the Annual Accounts, will be appearing shortly on our website.

Just a reminder we will be taking nominations for the following positions within the Club:
Club President, Vice President Squash, Club Captain Squash (Men & Women), Vice President Tennis, Club Captain Tennis, Squash Committee Members, Tennis Committee Members, Junior Convenor Squash and Junior Convenor Tennis.
The Executive would like to put forward the motion below which will need to be voted upon.:

Motion 1:  To introduce increase all membership fees by the CPI except for Junior and Family memberships.

The Club's facilities constantly require maintenance due to its age, which I am sure you are all aware.  Funding from Trusts for grants is still hard to obtain and support with fund-raising efforts has sadly decreased.
We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Ladies Chelsea Cup Tennis
The first week Feb 3^rd was Browns Bay vs Campbells Bay.  Campbells Bay won 4 matches to 2. Congratulations however must go to Sian English and Trixie Croad for both winning their matches in 3 sets.
 
10^th February – Browns Bay played Milford but lost on a count back.  Congratulations to:  Heidi Stewart who won her singles in 3 sets;  Caitlin Beazley who won in 3 sets;  and Ladies Top Doubles who won in straight sets.  Well done all of you. Unfortunately the bottom doubles just lost in a very close 3 set match.
 
This week’s matches are being played at Mairangi Bay, then back here at Browns Bay on Friday night 24^th February.  I am sure the teams would love your support so come on down and watch some fantastic tennis and enjoy the Club’s facilities.
 
Congratulations to Warwick Elley
Warwick has come second runner up in the Mens over 80 years competition at the Tennis NZ Senior National Championships held in Tauranga.  Also he won the 80’s and over Doubles with Ash Wilson. Well done Warwick!
