4. Concerns were raised regarding the age range of tennis members and TR produced some printouts which shoed the breakdown and clearly highlighted a low number of members in 20’s and 30’s. However, LD and TR had spoken to other clubs and LTA and this was a common problem throughout Wales and little more could be done. No action agreed.
