Rugby & District Tennis League secretary Alan Hipwell is standing down after an incredible 36 years. At the league’s recent AGM, chairman Graeme Baker presented Alan with a thank you from all the clubs. Graeme said: “It is the end of an era! During the last 36 years he has been the back bone of keeping the league on a sound footing. Alan has seen many clubs come and go, especially all the old company teams such as GEC, BTH and AEI Willans. Everyone present was only too pleased to thank him for all he has done for league tennis in Rugby.”
