Hi All,
We are running Junior Holiday camps this February half term from Monday 13th February – Wednesday 15th February. These will be taking place in the afternoon when the weather is slightly warmer!
These camps will be great for children to develop all of their tennis skills in fun and active sessions throughout the week. Our high quality coaching team will be delivering fast-paced sessions to keep everyone engaged throughout the camp.
We are running a special promotion this Half Term: Bring a Friend for FREE!
Children will be taught different skills each day, progressing through to mini matches with prizes.
Book on at the link below:

We will be closing the bookings on Saturday night (11th) so please do book in.
Lovers of live jazz had a treat last Saturday when Louise Marshall led the Ember Big Band in our clubhouse – a great opportunity to shake off the January blues.
For more information see: https://www.emberbigband.co.uk/
Beat the winter blues! Tennis drills continue all winter, 6.45-7.45pm on Thursday evenings at Ember. £5 for non members (for up to 5 sessions). Free to members.
A happy new year to all our tennis, bowls, croquet, drama and social members. Here’s to a great 2023!
A great event coming up – “In The Footsteps of Shackleton”, a lunch followed by a talk on Shackleton’s adventures by Martin Thomas. To book email emberjane2@btinternet.com or phone 07768 632684. Bookings open January 2nd and are £15pp.
Please take are at Ember Sports Club in this icy weather. The white painted edge of the veranda is very, very slippery in the wet and the icy conditions. Please avoid stepping on it. It is best to use the ramp to enter the clubhouse from the tennis end. The paths around the club may also be slippery so be very careful.
The tennis courts may be icy too – if the conditions allow and you do decide to play, please note this is at your own risk.
Take care, stay warm and safe
Ember retained the SECF B League this year, having also won in 2019 and 2021.
Internal Competitions were won by:
Roger Stearn, beating Simon Charrington, in the AC Open Singles
The GC Singles Handicap Knockout reached the semi-final stage but could not be completed this season. We will resume in April 2023.
The only other trophy presented at last week’s AGM was the “Most Improved Player”, which is based on improved handicap points. Simon Charrington retained the trophy, below.
The new windows at the bowls end of the clubhouse have finally been installed and are looking great. Roll on the new season (and the good weather!).
