This handbook which is published annually, both in hard copy and online, provides a wealth of current and historical infor- mation relating to tennis activities across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. It is available to members of all our affiliated clubs within the County and I commend it to you as an excellent reference publication. An abbreviated report on tennis activities within the County in 2018 appears elsewhere in the Chair- man’s Report. Once again, may I thank our Sponsors, Head, Dickson Minto, Courtstall, Karndean Design Floor- ing, Cane Furniture Studios and Lloyds Development Capital for their continued support which en- sures that our programmes can be enhanced for the benefit of tennis in our County. I would, also, like to thank our Corporate Patrons for their valuable support. We are most grateful to them all. The objects of the Association are set out in detail in the Rules of H & W LTA and appear elsewhere in this handbook. Our role is to work closely with our governing body, the LTA, in our endeavours to achieve these objectives. I congratulate Ed Bradford on being awarded ‘Referee of the Year’ at the AGM of the Association of British Tennis Officials. On the playing side the Chairman, in his report, has acknowledged many of the achievements of individuals and team members across all age levels. I would add to this list our Ladies’ Summer County Cup team who gained promotion to Group 5 by winning Group 6. I warmly congratulate those players who have achieved success for our County and, also, at national and international levels. We look forward to further successes in 2019. The LTA has prepared a league table cover- ing the county competitions at all age levels. Our position at the end of 2018 was eighteenth out of forty-four counties. This was an excellent outcome for H & W as one of the smaller counties. My thanks go to our Chairman, Richard Herriman, to Jo Marks and Ginny Lowe in the County of- fice, to our Treasurer, Nick Thomas, and to all other members of the Management and other Com- mittees, for their hard work and support in the administration of our County LTA during 2018 – it is much appreciated. I, also, thank all our volunteers within the clubs who work so tirelessly to support tennis in our County, in so many ways. Their contributions are invaluable. Finally, I wish all of you success, both on and off the court, during 2019.

Satisfying all Safeguarding requirements has been a priority and we have been working with the Region and Clubs sup- porting LTA initiatives. We welcomed Neil Bates as Chair of Club Development and Steve Barnett as Chair of Junior Development, both have made invaluable contributions to the work of our committee. Neil has been involved in the TBTT programme and we are optimistic that this time next year, we will have something positive to report. Neil and others have been putting together a County Plan setting out our tar- gets for the foreseeable future. The County signed up to a Performance agreement with the LTA aimed at increasing performance levels amongst juniors. The signing of the Agreement was preceded by much hard work and we are grateful to our County administrator Jo Marks. Our 12U girls qualified for the National finals where they came 6th. Felix Gill, ranked 3 in the 16U was a member of the GB junior Davis Cup team that came 8th in the World. Pauline Fisher was presented with the Senior Female Player of the Year Award at Wimbledon.
