WTC Court Project - Week Two

Week two of the WTC Tennis Court Project is now complete and it has been another busy one, continuing to focus on ground works.

 


 

Root barriers have gone in and been infilled, along with the stoning of all areas that have been dug out.  Kerbs have been finished and haunching is underway.








In addition to the work on the courts themselves, a number of trees have been cleared from the side of the path to the courts, and the stumps have been ground out this week.  This has left us a wonderful, large space, which will be an exciting future project for fundraising and planning.  All members, who would like to, will be able to get involved with creating and maintaining this great social and practical space for all of us to enjoy.

 





 

Have your say!

Now it is time for us to come up with a short-list of colours for our courts.  Please follow the link below to select your favourite; the most popular choices will go into a short-list for the final round of voting.

Week 9: WTC Court Project

Image
  Earlier in the week, the committee was delighted to receive an email enquiry from a member who has been missing the blog.  It is lovely to know that you are enjoying our posts – thank you! We haven’t updated for a few Fridays, as the newly laid courts have been curing, so there has not been much action to report. Things have been different this week, however, and there has been much going on around the periphery of the courts, with work advancing on our smart, updated fencing.  Please see the photos at the end of this post. We have been overwhelmed by the number of members who have made contact with us by email, phone and in person, regarding yesterday’s announcement about the need to change our court colours.  The majority of you have shared your sense of disappointment, a feeling that whole committee shares with you.  We are confident that the new courts will be contemporary and vibrant, and we are determined to get that pink in there somewhere...
