The Tennis Committee would like to thank deeply our Vice President Gaëtan together with Georgina Marrison and Roland Tchertoff from the Management Committee to have been able to renew all the club members’ tennis licenses with the French Tennis Federation  (more than 300 licenses) thus allowing everyone to get Roland Garros tickets on time and to participate to the various tennis competitions in “Ile de France”.
That has been an enormous amount of work done in emergency and within less than a week's time…

Girish Dharmapurikar stepped down as Junior Cricket Coach in June 2023. Andrew Macintyre returned temporarily and will be replaced by existing junior parent Adhavan Manoranjan. Thanks to Grisih for the past 3 and a half years and to Andrew for stepping up during his well-earned retirement. 

We have now reached 10 subscriptions (only girls from 6 to 12 years old). We are very pleased with this first step and hope adults will now join up for an additional Saturday afternoon session. See this article for more information about Taekwondo and read on for some photos from recent courses.

All the newly prepared flower beds around the tennis courts have been given a final layer of wood chippings to keep the weeds down. 600 bulbs have been planted ready to pop up in the Spring. 11 red roses have been purchased and are ready to plant immediately by the gardening team. The work was financed 50% by Anke’s collection. Thank you to Linda, Jane and Christiane.

Teatime is an important cultural and traditional asset at the SAC.
Every Saturday and Sunday from 4 to 5:30 PM the House Committee proposes biscuits from UK and other goodies with Janine's help once in a while.
Please come and enjoy this traditional teatime along with a warm cup of tea.
