The Late Summer League Men’s B team has had to withdraw from Division 3 of the Men’s Late Summer League.  The first four matches have had to be conceded du to a lack of players for the team.  Only two fixtures remain for the team.  The League rules state that where a team concedes more than half its fixtures all their resuts will be nullified so even if the matches wre played it would mean defeats of 9-0 in any event.

This situation has come about due due to a variety of circumstances such as hoidays, injuries and personal circumstances of some players preventing them take part.

These are a requirement of the Club’s registration with the LTA to ensure Ridgeway Tennis Club neets the stndards of a safe place to play.  Could members please take some time to familiarise themselves with the content. They can all be found on the Safeguarding page.

The new polices are:

1. Anti-bullying policy

2. Photography and Filming Policy

3. Online Safety and Communication Policy

4. Junior Policy
