AGM 2009

Thanks to the 50 or more who turned up last Friday for our AGM. Most came to show their thanks and appreciation to Ken Goss for more than 30 years serving the club. Unfortunately Ken was unable to join us but we marked the occasion by naming Court 4 the 'Ken Goss Court' and mounting a plaque.

The new Committee was duly elected and is now:

Chairman                                 Robert Ballingall
Club Captain                            Richard Harvey
Ladies Representative              Juliet O'Toole
Membership Secretary             Nick Blackburn
League Organiser                    Kate Ballingall
Bookings and IT                      Neal Gibbons
Tournament Organiser             Phil Cornhill
Junior Organiser                      John Ormiston
 Events Organiser                     Dominic Thwaites
Secretary                                  Chris Mellor

Other matters of interest:

(1) There are a few tickets left for the world class Exhibition match being held on the Ken Goss Court - Saturday 19th December. Contact Dominic to obtain your tickets  (dominicthwaites@mac.com)

(2) Christmas Team squash starts on 7th December and runs for 6 Mondays with a break for Christmas. Do join us for some friendly but competitive matches for all abilities by signing up on the list or by contacting Dominic.

(3) The new committee is updating the squash section of the Web-site ( www.cbltsc.com) . It already looks much better but there's more to come. Please have a look and let me have any comments/suggestions to keep it fresh, for both existing and prospective new members.

(4) Thanks to Mary Crowshaw who has been working through sacks of lost property and says: "There is a large quantity of adult and junior clothing and shoes in Lost Property.


The most recent Lost Property is in two boxes next to the Tennis Balls box in the main club lounge; older lost property is in 4 black sacks under the tables by the kitchen serving hatch.


If you think you or your family have lost any item please call into the clubhouse very soon and take a look as it is proposed to dispose of all the Lost Property on Monday 30th November 2009. It is suggested that particularly junior clothing should be marked clearly with a name to assist with its return".

(5) Finally, a reminder that the Club AGM is being held at 8pm next Friday, 27th November.

Regards

Rob Ballingall
Chairman

It's good to see my 'Last CHAT' did the business. Look at the new improved line up.

Only two Ballingalls and only one of these is Robert. Thank you all for your excellent response!

8. Any other business.

I hope as many of you as possible will turn out on Friday the 13th, if for no better reason than to allow me to wish
you all a fond farewell.

Finally, you are all invited to join us at the Bar for nibbles. So do come along for what should be an interesting and enjoyable evening.


Ken Goss (Chair) 23rd October 2009
