5.Updated 22/09/09	Templars Tennis Club (Templecombe Recreation Ground) SPRING 2009 MEMBERSHIP - At the recent AGM membership fees for 2009 were agreed. These are £65 for family membership, £45 for a single adult and £10 for juniors, unemployed or those in full time education. There is a £5 discount for adult membership fees paid before April 30th 2009. There are also further discounts for advanced payment of 2 or 3 year adult membership. A £10 joining fee applies to new members. Templars Tennis Club is one of the most reasonably priced clubs in the district and whilst we would like more income, encouraging new membership and providing an affordable sports facility to the locality is considered very important. COURT ILLUMINATION - Last year we completed Phase 1 of this project. The electric supply was connected so the tennis club hut now has internal lights and an external security light. Planning permission for the court lighting has been approved and with assistance from the Parish Council we hope to erect the court lights this year. CLUB EVENINGS - The main club evening is held every Wednesday and this year it will commence on Wednesday April 1st (no joke!).
