Sad passing of Tom Hicks - February 2021
It is with great sadness that we have to report that Tom Hicks has passed away at the age of 101.
Tom was President and a founder member of Notton Tennis Club. Without his part in establishing the Club in the 1950s we would not have the excellent facilities we enjoy today. Tom will be greatly missed by all those who knew him and those who played tennis with him over many years until he decided not to play just before his 100th birthday.
Always optimistic, cheerful and with a ready wit, he was a well loved friend to many. Tom’s funeral took place on the 25th February which in different times would have seen a large gathering to celebrate his life.
The Club will be showing our respect and thanks to Tom with a donation to Cancer research which was Tom’s wish.
