Club Life at WLTC - January 2025

Only two weeks to go before WLTC's "have your say" AGM on Thursday 13th February. Please do come down, share you thoughts and enjoy some cheese and wine with us - we'd love to discuss the progress you would like to see with the club in this coming year. Please note, the bar and lounge will be open exclusively for members who are attending the AGM from 7pm, and will be closed to all other members and guests.

It's a great time of year to check in on any aches and pains that may be holding you back. Please get in touch with us at Carter & George for help and support in recovery and injury prevention. As the colder months set in, we thought it might be helpful to share our favorite winter tips for warming up before hitting the courts.

Top 5 Cold Weather Warm-Up Tips for Tennis Players:

1. Layer Up: Wear moisture-wicking base layers and thermal clothing to stay warm.
2. Dynamic Stretches: Do high knees, lunges, arm circles, and leg swings to loosen up.
3. Light Jogging: Run or walk briskly for 5–10 minutes to increase circulation.
4. Use Resistance Bands: Activate key muscles with band exercises mimicking tennis movements.
5. Start Slow on Court: Hit at a slower pace before ramping up intensity.

Carter & George are also pleased to introduce Tom - he has been with us a few months now but C&G wanted to formally present him to the members and welcome him to the club.

Hello, Windsor Lawn Tennis Club members!

We are excited to introduce Tom Gray, part of the Carter & George Windsor Physiotherapy team.Tom has worked across various specialties, including Trauma & Orthopaedics, Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, and elite sports.

As an athlete himself, competing in marathons and ultramarathons, Tom brings a personal understanding of biomechanics, injury prevention, and performance enhancement. His passion for helping others stems from his own rehabilitation journey, inspiring him to make a positive impact on his patients. Please don’t hesitate to say hello to Tom if you see him around the tennis club and have a chat about how he can help your tennis game!

Thank you to everyone who attended our Christmas Party on Saturday 7th December. I know it seems like a lifetime ago, but we hope you had a magical evening filled with joy, laughter and happiness.

Thank you everyone who took part in the Tinsel Tennis tournament in December! You all looked absolutely amazing in your Christmas Outfits. Special shout out to the lovely Marion, who won best dressed (as an angel, of course)! Huge congratulations to our winners Jan & Ian, who narrowly defeated Rupert and Jill 4-3 in the final!

The annual WLTC Silver Fox tournament and lunch was held on December 16th with a sell out 24 attendees for the six team doubles tournament and a festive lunch .

The James Cunliffe AWOLS triumphed over the Diplomats of Tony Gooch and a good time was had by all.

Matt Welsh was a faultless tournament umpire and Laura and Donna worked hard to provide a marvellous Christmas lunch with all the trimmings.
