Footfaults - Kingsley Tennis Club Newsletter (October 2024) Kingsley Tennis Club Farewell to Footfaults It's out with the old and in with the new as we lay Footfaults to rest. The first edition of Footfaults was created in 1982/83, with the naming competition won by life member Bryan Saunders. In one form or another it has been delivered to members for over 40 years by the communications officer. Many members have taken on this role over the years including Richard Swindail, Carol Bradley, Robyn Seed, Carolynne Lowden and Leeanne Biemmi to name a few. Thank you so much to all those that have worked hard to author Footfaults over the years.The time has come for the club to move on to new ways of communicating with members. Hello to Team Reach We have decided to use an app called Team Reach to communicate with members. Team Reach is used extensively by many sporting groups, and our Wednesday night social players have been trialing it for the club. If you play on a Wednesday night and haven't already done so, please download the TeamReach app and enter the code KTCWED. Team Reach is way of communicating with all members instantly and will be used to advise of playing days and times, social events, tournaments, hot and rain affected playing days etc. Unlike What’s App you cannot see other members phone numbers, you can only communicate with them on the app. You will need to download the team reach app on your mobile phone and join the following group: KINGSLEYTENNIS6026 Details can be found at the following website: https://www.teamreach.com/ You may also receive a message from our president, Carolynne Lowden, or another committee member asking you to join with the relevant links. Tuesday mid-week players will still use their What’s App group for communications as that is working very well. What if you don’t have a mobile phone. What about Facebook?
