President

Ned Harris

'Whilst there is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding the coming year, I am confident that with the amazing committee we have, RUMS Tennis will have another fantastic season. Like many of you I am excited to get back into playing tennis, and I'm looking forward to seeing both current and new members once term starts, whether it be online or in-person.'

'This club is basically the best one. I have met so many really genuine, lovely people and, against all odds, may have actually improved my tennis! If you like being alive, you'll love our club.'

Treasurer

Abhinav Kumar

'RUMS Tennis is a great society, not only for tennis players of any ability, but anyone who wants to be part of a social and caring environment throughout their university experience.

For this year, despite the personal challenges everyone is facing with the pandemic, I’m excited for RUMS Tennis to be able to provide a place for people to enjoy playing tennis socially or competitively and act as a fun and inclusive space for students to interact.'

Publicity Officer

Chloe White

'Joining the RUMS Tennis family enabled me to meet so many new people. The cross-year support amongst medics is so valuable and joining a sport society strengthens these connections. This year I'm looking forward to promoting sustainability within the club and organising volunteering events.'

'Meeting up with RUMS Tennis whether it be on the court or not is always fun! It's also a great way to make friends in other years (and then you can use them to help you with uni work ;P). Next year I'm looking forward to our weekly socials, (maybe) improving my tennis and meeting all of you!'
