It's the first Tuesday of the month on the 2nd April and that can only mean one thing at Queensgate Tennis Club. It's our regular friendly, American Social Tournament with the popular scrabble theme.

We've had some great winners with this theme so please do pop down and enjoy the evening of sociable tennis. 

Just £3 will cover the flood lights, balls, a free drink at the bar with some nibbles and a prize for the winning scrabble word.

We would like to invite you to join us for a sociable, wine tasting evening at the clubhouse on Saturday 30th March 2019 from 7.30pm.

You will taste 6 wines including a glass of sparkling wine on arrival, learn all about the wines, their country of origin, the grape varieties, how to taste wine like a professional, whether a cork or screw cap is better and lots more besides. Light nibbles will also be provided.

Tickets at £25 per person are available from the Committee or contact Clare Hinton (07403 112946) or Rob Chambers (07496 526672). 

The event is being run with The Bubbly Wine Company. 

Those that attended the AGM of the Queensgate Sports Club (QSC) will know that it was agreed that the QSC should be working towards being financially self-sufficient so that any spare funds the Tennis, Bowls and Snooker sections have can be plowed back into, in our case, the sinking fund for replacement courts. To enable this, we need to increase the lettings income.  Mike Sarginson has already volunteered to take on the initial enquires, actual bookings and maintenance of an online calendar (which is fabulous news!) until someone else comes forward as this is a job that needs doing immediately if we are to advertise the clubhouse to potential hirers! If anyone feels they could take this job on, please let us know by emailing or phoning the number below.

Rob Chambers and Mike Sarginson already look after the bar stock and Bob Pigeon will be dealing with the financial arrangements for the lettings. 

We are also looking for several people to volunteer on a rota system to fulfil the following jobs:
1)  volunteers to unlock the clubhouse and possibly set up the main hall with tables (if required) when events are taking place
2)  volunteers to put any tables away the following morning that have been used at the event together with doing a check for damage.
3)  volunteers to run the bar for evening events. This is a paid role and would suit anyone over the age of 18. 

If you think you could be available to help by giving up some time, on a rota basis, please email Bob Pigeon - bobpigeon@btinternet.com -07843 573975 

Don't forget you can also help by making your friends, family, colleagues aware of the venue, whether it's for a special birthday, children's party, works do, bridge drive, or classes of any kind.  And ...if you hire it yourself, members get a very good discount @ £15 per hour!  Non-members £25 per hour
