Lillington Free Church Table Tennis Club

Recently I was in a large department store where my eye was taken by a mirror with the following inscription on it: Tomorrow is a wonderful day.

This brought home to me how last season I wrote an article on the importance of preparing for the future. Your coaches recognise the potential you all have and we do not want to pressurise you into thinking that you have to win everything NOW. I want Hugh Doody to play the terrific forehand smashes he puts away in Saturday club, in matches, and I don’t want him to worry if he occasionally misses them when nerves kick in. It is the future that counts.

I have some exciting news to share with you all!

For just over a year, in my capacity as Chairman of the Lillington Free Church Development Committee, I have led negotiations with a developer to build a new church with adjoining hall for our site. Last month, the developers signed an option agreement with the church, to take the project forward and to underwrite the costs incurred by the church. The developers expect to agree a contract with a large building concern in the next few weeks and we will then go for planning permission.
