There are still about 35 "Carpet Tiles" looking for a name on the chart which is in the clubroom. It's ?3 a tile and there are two prizes of ?15, two prizes ?10 and two tubes of tennis balls for the winning tiles. I'm hoping to see this finished in the next couple of weeks. The money raised is to be added to funds already raised to purchase a new carpet for the lounge which does need smartening up as we intend to promote the hire of the club's facilities for meetings, parties, training courses. Anyone interested in looking at what we can offer should contact Kirsten Hall by e-mail - social@albanyltc.co.uk. As an example the lounge can be hired for a meeting at only ?30 for 3 hours. In association with club coach Ian Watson you can hold a tennis party contact Ian by e-mail ianwatsonpts@clouds.co.uk.
