New Board Member Biographies Bethan Lewis – Non-Executive Director (South – Elected at South Annual Open Meeting) Bethan New Board Member Biographies Bethan Lewis – Non-Executive Director (South – elected at South Annual Open Meeting) Bethan joined the Tennis Wales Board in October 2020 as a director. Bethan has over 12 years’ experience in public relations and is founder and director of Brandrocker, a brand strategy consultancy based in Cardiff. Given her love for sport, she is also a freelance sports reporter and has interviewed world number one athletes as well as celebrities and members of the Royal Family at events. Bethan started playing tennis aged eight, and to date has represented her club, county and country. She was awarded a full tennis scholarship at Virginia Tech University, USA where she gained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication and Marketing. Bethan is currently a member of Cardiff Lawn Tennis Club and has previously been a representative of the club’s committee. Leah McDaniel - Non-Executive Director (North – elected at North Annual Open Meeting) Leah currently works as a lecturer of Sociology within a large sixth form college. She started playing tennis at the age of 12, and has gone on to represent club and county several times. Leah was awarded a full tennis scholarship to Midwestern State University, where she gained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Political Science. Leah has previously worked as the assistant tennis coach at Midwestern State University, and as the assistant manager at Wichita Falls country club. Leah now enjoys playing tennis with her six year old daughter and is a member of Wrexham LTC Patsy Roseblade - Independent Non-Executive Director (co-opted following an external recruitment process) Patsy Roseblade has over 20 years’ experience working at senior levels in the NHS. She came to Wales in 2012 to join the Welsh Ambulance Service as Director of Finance and ICT ultimately becoming Interim Chief Executive for a period of time before moving to other health organisations. Patsy plays tennis in Abergavenny as well as in her beloved home town of Crickhowell. She truly regrets not ‘finding’ tennis until into her forties but works hard to catch up on lost time! Outside of work and tennis Patsy enjoys spending time with her husband and two grown up children and, whilst very much still a beginner, is learning to play the piano. Janet Evans - Company Secretary – (appointed following an external recruitment process) Janet Evans has over 30 years of business experience with the last 12 years specialising in Governance. She is currently the Head of IT Governance for Admiral Group in Cardiff. Having attended Loughborough University, sport has always been an important part of Janet’s life, as much for the social aspects as for the health benefits. A playing member of both David Lloyd Club in Llandarcy and Glamorgan Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Merthyr Mawr, Janet learned her tennis playing on the public courts in Maesteg Welfare Park and is particularly excited about the Tennis Wales Strategy to invest in and support sustainable park facilities in Wales in collaboration with local Authorities. When not in work or on the court, Janet enjoys walking the coast and country around South Wales, skiing, exploring the wine regions of Portugal and spending time with her family and friends . 1 / 08/04/2021 .

  • Garw Valley Community Sports Hubs – Feasibility Study
    GARW VALLEY COMMUNITY SPORTS HUBS – FEASIBILITY STUDY A REPORT BY JANUARY 2018 CONTENTS Page Section 1 – Introduction and Background 1 Section 2 – Need Analysis 3 Section 3 – Community Hub Options and Financial 12 Projections Section 4 – Conclusions and Way Forward 27 APPENDICES Appendix A – Market Segmentation Appendix B – Facility Audit Appendix C – Facility Analysis Appendix D – Management Options Appendix E – Financial Projections Appendix F – Stakeholder Workshop Attendees Appendix G – Project Plan SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Introduction 1.1 Bridgend County Borough Council (the Council) as lead body for Reach (the Rural Development Programme for Bridgend) is currently seeking to explore the potential for the development of one or more sports based community sports hubs in the Garw Valley. 1.2 As a result RPT Consulting has been appointed to develop a feasibility study for community sports hubs based in the Garw Valley, which will seek to address the needs of the local population and key stakeholders. Background 1.3 Currently in the Garw Valley as with all other areas in Bridgend, sports and community groups are considering the transfer of sports and community venues and assets from the Council, through the Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process. 1.4 Some of the assets within the Garw Valley are in a poor state of repair and well below an acceptable standard. The cost of repairing and maintaining these assets is beyond the reach of many of the sport and community groups and therefore a potential solution is being sought to ensure that sporting and community activities are not lost. 1.5 To support the CAT process, Reach has already produced a ‘Rural Community Asset Transfer Toolkit’ which provides groups with a step by step guide to asset transfer and also commissioned a report ‘Review of Sustainable Community Venues and Assets in Bridgend County Borough’, which provides a detailed understanding of the issues faced by groups who both currently are or are considering managing/owning/leasing community facilities.

  • Guidance for Tennis Venues, Coaches & Players in Wales
    Guidance for Tennis Venues, Coaches & Players in Wales COVID-19: RETURN TO PLAY: PLAY SAFE GUIDELINES UPDATED 21 JUNE 2021 VERSION 10 INTRODUCTION We know how important it is for people to be active, and the particular role tennis can have in the physical and mental wellbeing of those that play it. By its very nature, tennis is an activity whereby close person to person contact can be avoided. Based on the Welsh Government guidance and adjustment of lockdown restrictions, Tennis Wales & the LTA have developed a set of practical guidelines to follow so that tennis can be played in Wales during the Covid-19 pandemic, where the local environment allows. These guidelines apply to both Tennis and Padel, and outline adaptations so that tennis activity can be enjoyed in a way that is in line with Welsh Government advice and helps to prevent the spread of COVID-19. They include measures to limit hand to shared surface contact and minimise unnecessary interactions with others. We have indicated the key additions and updates to these guidelines for Version 10 of this document with (NEW) and (UPDATED) on the following pages. IMPORTANT: This ‘Return to Play’ document is national (Wales) guidance. You should read this guidance in tandem with the updated Welsh Government guidance on a ‘Phased Return to Sport’ here VENUES Tennis venues across the country are all different and operate in different local contexts. Making an assessment of whether a safe exercise environment can be provided depends on a range of factors, which apply differently at each venue. It is the responsibility of each tennis provider, coach and facility to make that assessment based on their local environment.
