Our club has been incorporated

I am delighted to inform you that after a protracted process we have finally incorporated our club.  Henceforth our ‘club’ will be a company limited by guarantee and be known as Elliswick Lawn Tennis Club Limited.  This change was approved by the members at the last AGM.

This is a significant legal change that will protect each of us in the event that things go wrong and the club is plunged into some form of serious trouble, however unlikely that may be.  As subscribers (formerly members of the club) to the new company the maximum liability each one of us would have will be limited to £1 (one pound) only.  This was not previously the case as members of the club.

Very importantly, there will be no noticeable change in the way the club operates on a daily basis.  We will all be able to continue playing tennis as we have always done.

 

If you have any questions in this regard please don’t hesitate to send them to our club secretary.

On behalf of the committee

Steve Segall

Chairman
