***AGM Update***

Reminder that the 2024 AGM is this Saturday at Circo, 5-8pm. If you have a presentation/video, please email it to Phoebe (pxh947) by 1pm on Saturday.
Voting will be done via a google form which we will release at the end of the AGM. We will leave voting open for about 15 mins, then announce the winners.

It is not too late to run for a role. If you would like to, then please refer to the previous AGM post with the sign up sheet and role information.
Also note that the role previously titled “Welfare and Inclusion Officer” has now been changed to “Inclusion Officer”. The reason for this change is that UB sport has said that clubs should no longer have a welfare sec. We currently do not have a candidate for this role, so if you think you are a good fit please put your name down.

We will be going to fab after. You can get tickets through our own link here: https://www.guildofstudents.com/ents/event/8946/?code=010nis

If you have any other questions prior to the agm, please feel free to ask Raven or Phoebe.

Thanks,
UoB Tennis

This years AGM will be taking place on Saturday 16th March, 5-8pm at Circo. The AGM is when committee for the 2024/25 academic year are elected.

Being a member of committee is a great opportunity to learn new skills, looks great on your CV, and is a great way to give back to the club.
Any club member can run for any role. The winning candidate for each role is decided by voting which takes place during the AGM. All current club members are able to vote once. The results of the voting will be announced at the end of the AGM.

If you are considering running for a role, please have a look at the attached docs. One of these contains information about what each role entails and its time commitment. If you have any further questions about a role, the contact of the current person in that position is listed. If it is a new role, then please message either myself or Phoebe Hyde for more info.
If you are running for a role, please put your name down on the other doc attached.

At the AGM in previous years, candidates have done presentations, read speeches, or made videos to make their case as to why they should get your vote.

The AGM will be followed by a trip to 8th wonder of the world - the Guild. House pres tbc. This is the return on fab so is bound to be huge. We will have a ticket link in a few days so watch out.

- Tuesday 23rd Jan (Tomorrow), 4-5pm

These sessions will be used to assess which squad is best for you, so if you have already purchased a membership, or you might be interested in buying one, we request that you attend one of these sessions. This will make the joining process as smooth as possible for you! The session will also give you an idea of what a typical session is like, so if you’re not sure if you want to join, please also come along. If you don’t have your own racket, don’t worry as we will provide all equipment necessary.

The sign up sheet for these sessions is here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-zunIgy6fLy3D0SH7zYMvWaWAUZSp0exNfANdjE278U/edit?usp=drive_link. Please take a minute to read the info at the top of the document before putting your name down.

If you cannot attend either of these sessions, there is another table at the end of the booking document where you can put your information, so please fill this out and we will be in contact.

We hope to see you soon!

***TERM 2 TRAINING TIMES AND NEW MEMBERSHIPS***

Hi all,

All those that were part of the tennis club last semester should have received an email with new training times. For some, training sessions will be reduced this week due to an issue with court bookings, but you will receive an email at the end of this week with your full schedule for week 2 onwards if this has affected you.

If you have not received an email then please email the following with your semester 1 squad allocation:
[email protected]

Anyone that has purchased a membership for semester 2 (term 2 membership or social membership) will receive an email at the end of this week with a squad allocation and training times. Semester 2 memberships are still available to buy via the UB Sport website.

The Tennis club will have a stall at the sports fair this Wednesday (17th) between 11-4 in the Underground of the Guild - if you have any queries regarding how to join the club this term or general enquiries then we encourage you to come along and have a chat with one of our committee members.

Finally, make sure to follow UoB Tennis on Instagram and Facebook to keep up to date with training updates, socials, events, etc.

Cheers,
UoB Tennis
