These four sessions (bearing in mind that the market is pretty quiet this time of the year) raised £248. Well done to all those involved. Our next is on March 26th. If you would like to participate and/or make a cake - it is enjoyable - please contact Terry or email me.

Tournament organiser, Jim Seedhouse is in the middle Opening Tournament On a pleasant Sunday afternoon in May, 14 members (7 mixed pairs) enjoyed a session of tennis to produce two winners and two runners up. The least number of games played by each participant was 48, so it was a good work out for everyone. There were lots of mouth watering sanwiches, cakes etc. available to restore those lost calories during the afternoon.

Club of the Year Award For Moreton-in-Marsh Tennis Club Moreton-in-Marsh Tennis Club have been voted the South Warwickshire and District Summer League “Club of the Year”.The announcement by the “Prudden League” Secretary Corin Bishop was received with delight by Chairman Terry Parkes and the rest of the club officials. The award, known as the “King Cup” was a tribute to the people who run the teams and was decided by several factors.First all clubs who had teams fined, or failed to field teams, or fielded only one pair for a match during the season and also those who had received warnings for late score sheets and/or made errors when submitting scorecards were eliminated.This left six clubs who deserve a mention in despatches: Aston Cantlow; Evesham; Harbury; Ilmington; Moreton-in-Marsh and Pershore.An essential ingredient for this award is that they must enter a team into the league’s junior competition.This left only Evesham and Moreton in the running.It was a close run thing, but in view of the achievement of managing two unblemished men’s teams and the jobs done by Chris Adams for the A Team and Dennis Fisher for the B Team, plus their overall leader in the background Terry Parkes and James Hilltout’s efforts in his first season with the juniors, they pipped Evesham for the trophy. Moreton-in-Marsh Tennis Club become the seventh winners of the “King Cup” and now carry the title of the “Best club in 2010”.

Fund Raising The total cost of the resurfacing project is £26,000. Because our current funds do not match that cost, we need to organise fund raising activities. So if any of you out there can help please come forward (contact Terry Parkes on 01386 700301).
