Annie Lucas welcomed everyone to the 29th AGM and thanked John Stew and his team at the Cricket Club for their excellent service.
She was delighted that so many people had come to the AGM and meal and advised that a total of 326 players had taken part in the Vets (240) and Super Vets (86) tournaments and thanked the players for their continued support.
Annie advised that Mary Vesty, who had been a committee member and Super Vets Tournament organiser for many years had passed away in July last year after a short illness. Alison has kindly taken over the role of Supervets Tournament organiser.
The LVLTA donated £200 to LOROS in Marys memory.
The Committee, who are all volunteers, were thanked for their hard work running the two tournaments, the website, treasurer and administrative duties and latterly for organising the AGM and meal.
Cheryl Arlott, who has served on the committee for the last 6 years, is retiring and Barbara Williams will take over her website co-ordinators role. Cheryl was thanked for her contribution and presented with a small token of appreciation.
In 2018, a total of £1,500 was donated to charity. £1,000 to LOROS and £500 to The Alzheimer’s Society.
This year we will be donating £300 to 3 charities.
Steve Good was introduced and thanked again for agreeing to act as photographer.
Annie advised that winners and runner’s-up of each division would be announced together to collect their prizes and have a photograph taken. If anyone would prefer a separate photograph Steve would be happy to oblige.
To celebrate the achievements of the LVLTA, Steve Stroud was invited to our AGM as he is currently Director of Tennis Leicestershire and Chairman of the Competitions Committee. He has played for Leicester Forest East and Leicestershire for over 40.
Annie mentioned that the Committee was always open to suggestions and comments.
If anyone is interested in joining the Committee, please let us know.
