New SWATA plans for 2012
As we enter the new season we have some exciting new developments to report.
It is over 15 years now since SWATA was formed to develop tennis in Warborough and we now have over 50 families who are paid up members and enjoying the courts. But we can always do more and for 2012 we have planned some new events to encourage us all to play more and improve our game.
Tennis Open Days for juniors and adults on 26 May and 23 June. These are open to all of whatever standard (including complete beginners). They will run from 10 - 12.30 and include games and some coaching from our new SWATA coach Jay Henley, together with Adam Lubbock.
As many members have difficulties mid week, we are considering a new Club Night on Sunday evenings 5.00-7.00 but would welcome feedback from members.
We look forward to seeing you at all or any of these and please contact Jay or Adam for further details about coaching or other tennis classes.
And please remember that Membership Fees for 2012/13 are now due. For all membership enquiries please contact Lesley Munro-Faure email: lmf-nsqt@lineone.net tel: 01865 858329

Celebration plans for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee can now be found on our Jubilee pages.
The timetable of celebrations runs from Saturday 2nd June to Tuesday 5th June, with the majority of events being free-of-charge to all.
As part of Oxfordshire County Council's Big Society Fund vision, OCC have established the Area Stewardship Fund for highway-related "community enhancement projects," (but not potholes!) This fund could run to almost £1M for 2011/12 and is to be split across 14 localities.
Warborough Parish Council has submitted two bids: to replace the railings at the entrance to Six Acres field, and to provide a pedestrain refuge across the A4074 at Shillingford.
Our bid document can be downloaded here. The County Council decisions are likely to be published by the end of the year.
