Board Nomination Form

Outline of the Role of a Board Member

CASC Fit and Proper Declaration and Helpsheet

Board Members Code of Conduct

Please find above links to a nomination form for the Board elections that will take place at the Club’s AGM on 7 September. The nominations are for the positions of the Officers, Chair, Treasurer and Secretary, as well as the Directors. Please indicate on the form which position you wish to stand for.

Members can only nominate or second one candidate for each of the Officer positions and one Director. A nomination needs to be proposed and seconded by a voting member of the Club (members over the age of 18). Current Board members and staff will not be able to propose or second any member. Further details can be found on the form.

 

Please return the completed form to Irene Clark (Irene@twltc.co.uk), the Club Manager by 10.00 on Monday 22 August 2022. Please note, members who put their names forward previously will need to complete the form as well, apologies for this.

 

Members will be able to vote by proxy if they are unable to attend the AGM on the resolutions, as well as the Board elections. Full details of this will be sent out with the formal notice of the AGM shortly.

 

The Board is currently in particular need of the following skill sets and\or experience, as also outlined on the form:

o   Legal

o   Finance

o   Marketing

o   Social Media

o   Tournaments

o   Teams

o   IT Systems

 

Whilst I am currently proposing to stand for re-election as Treasurer so I can see the new Management System go live and assist Irene as she continues to take the reins of Club Manager, the Board is looking to have someone with accounting knowledge to support the Treasurer, with a view to them taking on the role in the future. If you are interested in taking this role on now, or in putting yourself forward for one of the other officer positions please contact me so I can give you further details on the roles and the commitment required.

 

There is an expectation that you would be willing to stand for 3 terms on the Board. Board members should attend all Board meetings and Operations Committee meetings they are requested at, with an expectation that you would attend at least 75% of the meetings in person. Directors will also need to be able to respond to emails and read reports as required, in a timely manner. Many of the Directors will also be responsible for running a sub-Committee, for which they will report into the Board. It is hoped that the time commitment will not be too onerous but it is important that you recognise what is required as a voluntary Director of the Company, in terms of your legal responsibilities and general duties and the need to have the time available to be an active member of the Board. Further details of your legal responsibilities, as well as the Director’s Code of Conduct can be found here, as well as a general outline of the role of a director here. If you would like to discuss any aspect further, please contact myself or any member of the Board.

 

The Officer roles do require a greater time commitment, and ideally the ability to attend meetings during the day. They also require specific skill sets and experience. Officers are entitled to honorary membership whilst serving on the Board, in recognition of this additional commitment.

 

We plan to organise an evening in the week prior to the AGM when members will be able to meet candidates standing for election so they can get to know a bit more about them.

 

If you have any questions please contact me, any Board member, or Irene.

 

Kind Regards

Congratulations Abby Tennent

I am pleased to share two fantastic results for another TWLTC junior member. Abby Tennent won the U14 grade 5 tournament at Storrington on Sunday 23rd October and won the U12 grade 4 tournament in Seaford today, 24th October. A great achievement for one of junior tennis players.

Carmel you certainly are an amazing quiz master and you rocked the clubhouse.

What a fantastic evening and great fun was had by all. The fish and chip supper was delicious too.

We can’t wait for the next one!!

A huge thank you to you and your husband for all the hard work you put in to making it such a success.

Thank you so much Santa and Tim for the Elves (Elvis) entertainment everyone had such a great evening.

Thanks to Nicola for facilitating the fun mix in and the warm mulled wine went down a treat !!

 

 

 

What a scream everyone had celebrating Burn’s night. Such a lovely event to be part of and hats off to Mr Tim Shilton who did an amazing job ensuring it was a successful evening.

 

Thanks to all who joined in the fun at the St Valentine’s Day ‘Blind Date’ Mix-in, including new members Alex and Thomas who ended up playing Singles. Love was definitely in the air (and in the Bar afterwards), especially for outright winners Tim and Lorinda. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Rachel Holahan, Ladies 3 Captain led her team to victory last Saturday with a straight 4-0 win in the Final.  Heather Cowie, Laura Byers and Sarah Gillet were part of the wining team; however, Sarah Lindley, Ruth Marshall and Julia Patience all played a part in getting Ladies 3 to that Final.  Huge congratulations to all involved.

Monday 13th March marked the launch of “Captains’ Drinks”; – an event which brought together all Team Captains for a get-together in the Club bar. The evening was hosted by Jason Baker, Head of Teams and Tournaments along with Liz Grove – Ladies’ Captain and Tom Patrick, the newly appointed Men’s’ Captain. Drinks and pizza were provided by the club but, (as there’s no such thing as a free pizza!!), there was some work to be done before the socialising. Jason kicked off some serious discussions about attracting new talent to teams, providing assistance to captains in what can be a very arduous task in assembling teams and promoting our teams to the Club Membership. We wish all our teams the best of luck in the forthcoming summer season.

Anyone interested in joining a team should contact Jason Baker at tournaments@twltc.co.uk, Liz Grove at egrove29@hotmail.co.uk or Tom Patrick at thomasrpatrick@hotmail.com.
