GENERAL
Great news for Cheam Fields Tennis is that Courts 5 and 6 will be resurfaced with artificial clay. The project will begin on Monday, May 19, and take 2 to 3 weeks.
Three key members will leave the Tennis Committee at this year’s Tennis AGM on May 15. Thanks to Chairman Mark Hunnable, Tennis Secretary Anthea Brunton-Reed, and Welfare Officer Sara Tresadern for their valued input. They leave the Committee in a strong position for the future.
Safeguarding remains a top priority at Cheam Fields Club. Sara Tresadern championed this important role for many years. Sara’s responsibilities will be passed on to newly trained representatives for Tennis and Bowls.
The initiative with Cuddington Croft School will run for 10 weeks this spring, providing learning opportunities for local children. Sessions will use courts 1 to 3 on Thursday and Friday, from April 21 to May 19 and June 2 to June 30.
Membership renewals for 2025 are due on April 1. Don’t forget to join up and join in another great year of tennis at Cheam Fields Club.
The Club will have a recruitment stall at the annual Cheam Charter Fair on Saturday, May 17. Please pop down, or better still, let us know if you can lend a hand on the stall.
