Peter Chambers became Chairman. The late John Dyte joined the club and we had 33 members. Membership Fees were £45, Visitors Fees £3 and Match Fees £2. The Club Captain (Trevor Telling) reminded team players to be aware of when they were next on the match court so as someone did not have to go and fetch those players from the bar!!
