NEW COMMITTEE FOR THE NEW SEASON
After 2 years of hard graft, Club Co-Chairs Andy Crombie and Nynke Goodman (now aka Upfold) stood aside at the recent Club AGM, and a new Club Chairman was elected - Chris Giles. Although too young to be labelled a club stalwart, that is indeed what he is, having been part of the Club furniture for longer than he dares admit.
The AGM also saw Jeff Skinner re-elected as Club Treasurer, Jonny Skinner as Secretary, Nynke Upfold as Head of Ladies Section, and Fred Grayson as Vice Chairman.
Many other Club Members have offered their services to carry out other key duties, including social activities, and we look forward to another enjoyable season under the new leadership team. |

AZTECS CO-CHAIR TIES THE KNOT!
Not satisfied with achieving a League Winners Medal, popular Aztecs Co-Chair Nynke Goodman went for the Double and married Tony Upfold in a fairy tale wedding at Sandhurst St Michael's Church on 1st May.
Nynke has been a stalwart of the Lady Aztecs for over a decade, and has even turned out for the men's team when they've been short of bodies, talent, or ideas.
Nynke's white dress was embroidered with diamonds and was complemented with a long white train. She was given away by her father Len, and in a unique family touch, her wedding ring was handed down from her late Grandmother.
The reception was held at the New Mill in Eversley, and the happy couple will honeymoon in Bali.
All at the Aztecs wish them decades of happiness together. |

AZTEC STORM TAKE 2009-10 LADIES DIVISION ONE TITLE!
Congratulations to the ladies of the Aztec Storm, who have won their fourth Wessex Ladies Division 1 title, and reached the final of the Ladies cup at Wessex Finals Day. This is a particularly commendable achievement after their league season started very slowly with four losses.

A SPECIAL TALLENT...
Aztec Ladies' Heini Tallent has recently opened her sports massage business, Body Dynamics Sports Massage, in Spencers Wood, Reading.
She's offering Aztecs members a 10% discount on all sports massage treatments; pre- and post-competition massages and relaxing Swedish massages are also available.
Heini says that sports massage is a great way to maintain health and fitness and it works well in treating injuries such as muscle strains, ligament sprains, back or neck pain and postural problems. It can be used to great effect to recover from a training session or competition, and regular treatments help prevent sports injuries too. It's suitable for just about anyone, whether you're serious about your sport or just experiencing niggling aches and pains from work or exercise.

CLUB T-SHIRT!
Yes, the Club T-shirt is ready - thanks, Claire - and has been designed to complement the latest iteration of our club colours.
Cost is a measly £7, and for that we are grateful to former club member Henry Hunt who has chipped in a decent contribution for the privilege of having his new business name on the shoulder.
Speak to Fred Grayson to reserve yours, and ask for L, XL, XXL. |

News of a retired Club Member...
Clubmate Henry Hunt had to retire from the basketball court following an injury. Henry has now started up in the gents' hairdressing business, and has recruited a couple of good european hairdressers ("I don't wield the scissors" Henry pointed out hastily, "I leave that to my professionals!") Henry's philosophy is to ensure that the customer receives an unhurried and professional haircut, rather than a rush in and out of the chair. (Your Style and Image Correspondent can confirm that this is indeed the case, as he "mystery shopped" the service prior to Henry being aware of his booking.)
Henry has bought and completely refurbed the hairdressers at Bay Road Shops in Bullbrook, Bracknell. This is now a very smart unit with completely new equipment, and a bright outlook through the enlarged windows.
To help spread the word about his new venture, Henry is offering discounted haircuts to Club Members - standard cuts reduced from £10.50 to £9, and single grade cuts from £8 to £7. So, when that appointment with the hairdresser is beckoning, why not give Henry's a try?
