Last Email as General Manager

[image]

Dear [[firstname]],

As I commence my last week as General Manager of our wonderful club I have been reflecting on my journey since leaving the Royal Air Force early to become what was then titled, Operations Manager.

Within the first year we introduced the MyCourts online booking system, negating the need to phone Chrissy on reception who would duly walk the corridor to place a sticker on the squash court booking sheets. Chrissy continues to get her steps in with the help of Brendon and our System Energize Team who replaced Formula GFI in March 2013 when Pete Cashmore was Gym Chairman.

The introduction of MyCourts meant we could email more effectively, Lesley Calrow advised me to get into the habit of typing onto a word document first before sending to avoid spelling mistakes; top tip Lesley. I’ve been reviewing the emails which total over 300,000 words, and still included a few spelling mistakes. In those days I did all the marketing, was on every committee, attended every social function and played all sports and participated in most classes, Im not sure my liver or knees could cope with that nowadays.

A cup of percolated coffee was only £1:30 and Paninis were £3. We delivered the British Squash Qualifiers and the ROWE International Squash Qualifiers with Jamie Haycocks and Darren Lewis participating too. Professional Tennis player, Tamira Paszek visited to train on the grass tennis courts followed some years later by Leylah Fernandez, closely followed by our very own Wimbledon Junior Champion, Henry Searle and his Barmy Army.

Thirteen and a half years on I have been working closely with our new Club Manager Nikki Prosser, she has been spending time helping Gilly and the Social Committee create an exciting year of social events; keep the 26th April free if you can.

I did the Energize Detox 12 years ago and have just completed the System Energize Kickstart programme with around 30 inspirational and motivational members, coaches and guests. It has been a superb experience and it literally has kickstarted my return to the World Tennis Masters Tour where fitness and movement is most advantageous.

My final day as your General Manager is this Friday 31st January; I invite you to join me at the 6:30pm Cardio tennis session bookable on MyCourts followed by drinks and nibbles in the bar from around 7:45pm.

Thank you all so much for making this club a very special and unique place and don’t forget to ““Keep Healthy, Play Sport and Make Friends”

Kind regards,

Marc Hughes

General Manager
