New Club President

“It’s been a great three years, and we’ve achieved much, but now’s the time to hand over the baton to a new President in Peter Restall.”

So said out-going President Richard Loseby in his swansong speech at yesterday’s AGM. With family commitments and growing work demands, Richard was happy to step down and let someone new take the lead. Peter was the natural selection, especially after so many years of devoted service on the committee as Club Captain, and he inherits a club that is in a very healthy state. The two new courts continue to attract widespread approval, even though they have yet to be fully played in. Midweek club mornings, Monday and Wednesday nights are as popular as ever and this season we can look forward to another Chelsea Cup team in the top league. With Head Coach Vicky Wild leaving, Peter will also be working with a new coach and Richard’s last role was to help find that person. We can now say we are close to signing someone and an exciting announcement will be made shortly.

Richard also took the opportunity to thank the committee for all their hard work.
