delighted to
announce that we have organised another special tennis week this summer

This fantastic holiday is perfect for children and adults of all
standards and abilities, from total beginners to advanced. Non-tennis
playing guests are very welcome too.

Director
SIR JOHN GRAHAM - PATRON OF THE CLUB
PAST PRESIDENT OF THE WYCHWOODS TENNIS CLUB
Sir John has just retired from his presidency of the Wychwoods Tennis
Club and has kindly offered to remain on as patron of the Club.
Johnny, as we know him, was a playing member of the Club in the 90’s and
was invited by Archie Clark to take over as Treasurer. He looked after
the Club funds
during the intense period of activity covering the court expansion in
2000/1 involving an expenditure of c£100k which included managing the
complexities associated
with a Lottery Grant of £54k.
In 2006 Johnny was invited to take over the club presidency which had
been vacant for some years since Archie Clark had died. During his time
as president, Johnny
was always available to assist in the many and various problems which
confronted the Tennis Club, in particular his expertise in legal,
procedural and administrative
matters was invaluable.
Johnny’s expertise came from a star studded career, completing studies
at Cambridge he then joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and
initially was sent to the
Lebanon to learn Arabic. Once conversant with that language he
completed postings to Amman, Benghazi, Kuwait and then as Ambassador to
Iraq and Iran and finally to
NATO in Brussels. Since he retired his experiences in Iran during the
Revolution, some hair- raising, have been a fascinating part of his many
lectures on that
country and the Middle East in general.
After retiring Johnny came to live in Shipton in 1992 and for 5 years
held the Directorship of the Ditchley Foundation at Ditchley which has
hosted many high level government meetings.
At the Tennis Club’s AGM in February Johnny was thanked for his
invaluable assistance over the years that he had been involved with the
Tennis Club. He was presented with a
Scottish goblet or quaich which was inscribed with the Graham crest and
a message of thanks from the Club. Hopefully as patron we will be able
to call on his specialist
knowledge and advice when inevitably confronted by problems in the
future.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AT THE WYCHWOODS GOLF CLUB
FRIDAY 18TH FEBRUARY 2011 AT 7.00PM
To all club members
This letter includes an agenda for the A.G.M., a menu for the dinner and a proposal form for the nomination of prospective committee members.
Please note that the cheques and the proposal form if appropriate must reach me by Monday 10th January.
Members may recall that at the 2006 A.G.M. an amendment was proposed to the Articles of Association whereby the officers and members of the
Committee would serve for three years and that for the transition one third would retire in 2007, a further one third in 2008 and the final
third in 2009. In the Agenda for the A.G.M. to be held on the 18th February, the committee have continued to follow this formula for 2011
although this year three committee members and the Honorary President are retiring from the committee and not seeking re-election. There
is no limit set upon the numbers of Committee members, although for practical purposes fourteen, not including the Honorary President, may
be the most useful maximum. It is of course open to members to propose other candidates and an appropriate form for this is attached.
Valid proposals must include a proposer and a seconder and an indication that the candidate is willing to serve. Any such proposals must
be sent to me by Monday 10th January. Late proposals or proposals from the floor of the A.G.M. will not be accepted.
Yours faithfully
Ian Carrington (Club Secretary)
