Newmarket under new ownership
17th March 2011
The Newmarket court is now owned by The Newmarket Real Tennis Club Ltd - a Members' Club limited by guarantee. Funds were raised for the purchase by the issue of Loan Notes to some 140 Founder Members. Thanks are due to all those who contributed, and especially to Lawrence Bailey who proposed the scheme, and to Keith Banks, Richard Dunn, Stuart Arrandale, and Hazel Dunn who have been instrumental in ensuring a smooth handover to the Members, and to the T&RA for their help in publicising it. John Burnett, Chris Hollingsworth, and Alex Riley who bought the court in 1999 and who are among the Founder Members of the new Club, wish it and the Professionals, Andrew Knibbs and Mark Hobbs, every success, and are confident that they will go from strength to strength under the management of the Members' Committee.
