President's Report
Mark was unable to attend because of illness, so Jane Carter delivered his
report which extended thanks to all the committee for their work over the last
year, with special regards to fundraising and preparing for the Lottery
bid. A very special thanks was extended to Sandra for all her work on
applying for the Lottery grant. He was pleased to report that the Mixed
team had been promoted and that this year we would put two teams in to
play. The short tennis programme had really gone well and had been
exceptionally well attended.

A good year for fund raising. Members were given a balance sheet to
examine.

Club Constitution
Because of the Lottery bid, we needed a new constitution. One had been
prepared which was more user friendly. The new constitution was read and
discussed by members and amendments suggested. It was then accepted
unanimously subject to the amendments suggested being made. Thanks to Sue
Booth for her work on that document.
