Achievement and performance
The members and committee of the club agreed to become a Charitable incorporated association and the Summary of the main club has increased it's membership from 62 to 89 by the end of the year. The inclusion of a monthly achievements of the charity payment option has helped people retain or take up access to the facilities despite the increased cost of during the year living crisis. The coaching programme has improved in the year with additional weekly sessions being necessary to cater for the increased usage and skill level of participants. There is now weekly junior, beginner, intermediate and advanced player sessions and a Saturday family fun session. The club managed to run multiple tournaments in the Spring, Summer and Autumn for doubles tennis and added a singles tournament in the Autumn as well. The winter tournament had to be cancelled due to the commencement of the development project. The club successfully fielded 3 teams within the Gainsborough evening summer league with more than 30 players taking part across the 3 teams. The 1st team gained promotion back into the first division and the 2nd and 3rd teams remain in the 3rd and 4th division within the league respectively. The club fielded a girls under 16's team for the first time in the Lincolnshire County League and is actively trying to increase participation of girls in tennis with the inclusion of a female trainee coach who is studying under the guidance of the two highly qualified coaches. The final but most significant achievement this year has been the commencement of the 3rd court development project with funding being awarded to complete the project. It commenced in October with the additional floodlights being added, fence installed and groundworks starting to commence. We anticipate the full development will be completed in March 2025.
