Children's News: Yoga for children Saturday 26 April

image

On Saturday, 26 April at 11:15 to 12:15, there will be a trial yoga class for children.
Octavia (a born and bred Londoner) from Yogaventuriers https://yogaventuriers.carrd.co/ will be coming and teaching in English. The class will be designed around a story to keep little minds focused. First, a book reading, then going through the story using yoga poses and movement. The classes are lighthearted and fun, getting kids moving in a focused way that they can carry over to different activities. The kids get to practice their English with a native speaker, and we all benefit from creatively moving our bodies. We will provide yoga mats, and this trial class is free for members. If it goes well, we hope to introduce a class every Saturday from September.
This Saturday's Yoga class is currently fully subscribed. Please let know if you'd like to get on the waiting list for future classes.

Tennis News: 2025 Survey Findings

image

The Tennis Committee is delighted to say we had a fantastic response from members to our 2025 tennis survey. (See the full survey results here - pdf)
Tennis is the main reason why around half of members join the club, while the level of tennis and interest in the sport is tilted toward the family, social, intermediate players versus advanced, competitive players. There is a strong desire for the club to improve the all-weather availability of the courts.
The enthusiastic response to the survey certainly encouraged the TC to press ahead with more organised tennis this year.
First up is the round robin tournament on Sunday 27 April (see here). If you have not signed up yet, please do so here via this HelloAsso link. Details are also available at the club.
We will be announcing details of the club's internal tennis tournament to run through May and June very soon, and we will be announcing plans for regular Sunday social tennis too and are looking at the logistics for setting up a tennis ladder.
Our coaching partner, Tennis Academy has children's tennis camps planned for the coming holidays.
