Committee Update
From: Anne Clark, IC of GB Chair
To: All IC of GB Members
Dear IC member,
Hoping that you are staying fit and healthy in these ‘unprecedented’ times. It’s such a good feeling to be allowed back on court either already or shortly.
May has seen a couple of ‘firsts’ for the IC of GB. On the 20th May the IC Committee meeting was held online using Zoom with over 20 Committee members joining in. The second first is that I had the honour of taking over as your Chair, the first time a lady has held this position.
Many thanks go to Benson Greatrex who has very capably been our Chairman for the last three years. Other changes include Mike Carroll and Craig Edmondson retiring from the Committee. Mike over many years holding various sub committee positions and also reporting back on IC Council matters, which he will continue to do. Craig has brought us up to speed with our marketing and media. Alan Purnell had also intended to retire from the Committee as he has handed over the Honorary Treasurer’s position to Andrew Kennaugh. For continuity, Alan has kindly agreed to stay on the Committee until the AGM which is now planned for the 29th September. Our thanks go to Mike, Craig and Alan.
The Committee is closely monitoring the current situation and how things develop regarding tennis and once the challenges from coronavirus (COVID-19) are overcome we look forward to arranging matches and looking at opportunities to continue to promote and renew friendships on and off court. We will be keeping the website up to date so please do keep monitoring this.
I welcome any thoughts and ideas on what you would like as a Member of the IC as we develop through the 2020’s, which should be an exciting decade with our 100th anniversary in 2024 to look forward to.
Take care,
Anne Clark
IC of GB Chair
