Peter Gill, 82, passed away on Sunday 30 August after an illness. Always an accomplished sportsman with nimble tennis skills, Peter was an active and long-standing member of the Standard Athletic Club.

The good news is that while the Club’s indoor facilities remain closed, we are now able to offer members access to most of the club’s outdoor areas on a much less constricted basis, within the limits of the guidelines and recommendations of the authorities and sporting federations - effective immediately. (Don't forget to sign the rules acceptance form...)
The measures announced by the Mairie de Meudon and the Prefecture are extremely strict. Initially the Club will only be open for tennis players with a maximum of 10 persons on the site at one time. Only singles matches will be allowed on the three hard courts according to strict rules of access, circulation and hygiene.
The only entry to the Club will be by the 'cricket' gate which will be manned. Nobody without an ADSL tennis reservation will be admitted. The clubhouse, changing rooms and toilets will remain closed, and all other areas in the grounds apart from those immediately adjacent to the tennis courts will be out of bounds.
Tennis should start as from the morning of Saturday 16 May (see this article).
The MC has decided on Sunday 17 May for holding the 2020 SAC Annual General Meeting. This date is outside the school holiday period and largely avoids the ponts of May. Please mark this date into your diaries and come in numbers to ensure a comfortable quorum. You will be receiving official notification in due course.
