Work starts on floodlights

The materials were delivered on time on 21st January and work has commenced on installing the floodlight pylons and the necessary cables. These photographs show how the pylons and cables are being installed outside the fence perimeter. The only floodlight pylons that will be situated inside the fence will be those next to the club house and the two central lights. As said before, the work is expected to be completed by 8 February and the Tennis committee is meeting on 4 Feb to decide on how to manage the calendar, payments and booking procedures.

LTA Tennis Awards Night

On 10th January, the Awards function for Leicestershire Tennis took place in the Underwood Suite at Welford Road. As you know, we were successful in winning both the Mens Summer Leagues Divisions 3B and 5A as well as the Winter Doubles Div 3.

Here is a shot of Mark Cox making the presentation to team captains Mark Baker, Ian South and Steve Nicolaidis.

Update on timing for Floodlights

There has been a slight delay due to the contractors writing off their main delivery truck, luckily without injury! The plan is for the floodlights work to commence on 21 January with a completion date of 8th February. Once complete, we will let you know when the courts are available to start playing floodlit tennis.
