CEO Speak Dear members, 2016 has quickly dawned on us and we are overtaken by the speed at which the past year went by. We have seen much change over the one year at the club, and are thankful for every one of you that had made the change possible. Those of you who are such a part of our lives, continue to meet with us, talk to us, provide us constructive feedback and ideas that will truly make us one of the enviable clubs to belong to. While we have a long way to go, and we become all that we have envisioned, I know that our steps are in the right direction. We continue to seek your patience as we overcome the hurdles of external constraints beyond our control and battle our own shortcomings to build a memorable future that will last. Thank you for your participation in this exciting endeavor. Over the past quarter, we have been pushing to complete another milestone in our development at the club. And we were successful in throwing open the Balance Badminton Courts – at the hands of Padmashri Prakash Padukone and Shri Vimal Kumar. It was privilege for me to declare open the new center, with a few of my own well practiced badminton strokes, on the 23rd of December! Those of you who were present, would agree that it would go down into our annals as an unforgettable experience. We continue to partner with the Prakash Padukone Sports Management to build a truly world class coaching academy that will provide coaching through our club, and identifying the future budding stars on the horizon of our growing sports fraternity in India! I trust that many of our children and friends are continuing to avail of coaching under the auspices of Tenvic (tennis, T/T and cricket), Nisha Millet Swimming
Academy and the BFC soccer coaching through our sports facilities at the club. You will continue to see growth and development over the coming year as we strive to build the next phase of our facility, namely the club house building at the rear – restaurant, Spa and staying rooms, Followed by our Squash Courts, Gymnasium and revamped tennis facilities. We need your continued support while we take forward these plans and look to the coming year with excitement and hope for the quickest resolution to some of the challenges we face. We have recently signed up for our next XLR8 center in the city of Pune, which we hope would expand into a fullfledged club house one day. Our tie-up with the Dasvino Club, Lavasa continues to mean that we will look for the best when partnering with clubs across the country and internationally. I trust some of you have taken advantage of that affiliation. As someone rightly said “Make New Year's goals. Dig within, and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year. This helps you do your part. It is an affirmation that you're interested in fully living life in the year to come”. Forgetting what lies behind, we press on to what lies ahead! I hope and pray that your year ahead will be fruitful and blessed! Happy New Year! Warm regards, Henry
