Dear Member,
Welcome to the second Melrose Waverley Tennis Club newsletter of the year.
The tennis season is getting in full swing with league matches starting very shortly, as at the time of writing. You will find details of the early fixtures elsewhere in the newsletter. If you are interested in playing league matches please contact Liz Leitch (820696) (Ladies), David Owen (822537) (Men) and Elspeth Whitelaw (822125) or Ian Reilly (822448) (Juniors).
Please look at the list of future events shown in the table on the left of this page and make a note of them in your diary. Please contact any member of the committee if you wish to take part in or contribute to any these events.
We are now in the second half of April, so please pay your subscriptions by the end of this month. Remember the cost of most subscriptions goes up if they are not paid by 30 April. There are further details at the end of the newsletter.
There is also an important notice about tennis balls on the second page.
Leslie Young, Newsletter Editor
