New committee at Southbroom
PEDDY Bam is the new chairman at Southbroom Tennis Club.
He was elected after the club’s well attended annual general meeting last Saturday.
The new committee is Peddy Bam (chairman), David Crouwkamp (captain), Nicky Momberg (treasurer), Luise Mohr (secretary), and members Ron Stirling and Mary Rawlins.
During this meeting the trophies and prizes were presented to the winners and the runners-up of this year’s championships, which were played in March and April 2014.
As a first, a trophy was presented to the most improved player, Mary Rawlins.
Thanks were extended to the sponsors, in particular Coffee On The Square and Le Plantation.
Tennis was played afterwards in perfect weather, followed by a bring and braai.
Tennis enthusiasts are welcome to join in on social tennis days, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 2pm.
New members are more than welcome, or play in your own time for only R30 per hour per court.
