## AVTCC Annual Report 2020-21 

In April the club faced a potentially difficult year with play initially not possible then limited and no income from social events due to Covid restrictions. However we received a £10,000 grant from the Local Authority which plugged the hole in our finances and enabled us to reduce subscriptions for the year, as a result of which we gained many new members for both tennis and croquet.  Junior tennis however all but ceased as the junior program revolves around league matches which did not take place. 

We had a record entry for our usual internal tournament, and in September hosted a visit from the LTA President and the Devon LTA Chairman. 

During the summer we put together a plan for improvements to the club – installing electricity, improving our water supply, refurbishing the clubhouse roof and constructing changing rooms – and started applying for grants. We hope the improved clubhouse will be used for local community events as well as for club and members’ events giving us an income stream we can use to improve our tennis provision. 

Despite everything we had a successful year with lots of tennis being played and many new members. Thanks to the grant and donations from members we ended up with a substantial surplus which will go towards our improvements.
