Mark Player Chairman/Director
Unfortunately, in recent years, Mark has been plagued with injuries which has prevented him from being able to get on to court. However, Mark is also a keen golfer and a member of Mill Ride Golf Club, and is attempting to play the top 100 courses in Britain and Ireland - currently on 48. Mark has a small boat on the river and enjoys gardening, watching football (in fact most sports) and seeing family. More recently he has retired from his printing business in High Wycombe, which he had for 38 years but remains a non-executive director. He is also a trustee at the Windsor Homeless Project, which he has found to be a very rewarding way to spend his new found time.
David Stephens Treasurer/Director
This role involves producing monthly accounts, statutory returns, budgets, cash flow forecasts, negotiating financial matters with suppliers, tenants, etc and advising the committee on all financial issues. A qualified accountant, his career involved senior financial roles with several businesses and he was involved in listing companies on the UK and US stock markets. He plays golf (badly) and, until recently, was a regular on the squash court. In the past he has played cricket and football and continues to follow both sports as a supporter. Since retiring he has been a director of two charities and enjoys overseas travel.
Zoe Bruggraber Accountant
Zoe has covered a variety of roles in the corporate world. She had a change of direction after having her son, Sebastian, running the local Buggyfit franchise for 4.5 years pre-Covid19 whilst also working for the club. Zoe is an enthusiastic tennis player, recently taking up the sport but thriving with the challenge! She also enjoys a variety of other sports such as mountain biking, paddle boarding and running as well as interior and exterior design. Zoe’s son also plays for the WLTC junior teams and has been bouncing around the club since he was 3 years old. Not forgetting Zoe's charming husband Richard who, up until recently, was a popular captain of the Men's 1st & 2nd teams.
Beci Lee Tennis Manager
Beci was asked to apply, and well, here she is! Since April 2024, Beci has been thoroughly enjoying her new role as Club Manager and, like Mark, is keen to help improve the clubs facilities and member experiences to ensure that being a member of Windsor Lawn Tennis Club is the best thing ever!
Laura Pritchard Bar Manager
Laura is incredibly passionate about her role and takes a lot of care and pride in her work. She is always hoovering, tidying, dusting and cleaning, as well as ensuring the fridges are fully stocked with a variety of delicious sandwiches and snacks. Laura is married with three children; Harley, Lily-Mae, and Taylor, not forgetting her fourth child – the adorable Frenchie called ‘Maggie’. In her spare time Laura enjoys walks (ideally with a pub at the end of it) and having dinner parties with friends. Laura has been an integral part of the club since her arrival, and as a result the members have come to think of Laura much more than just ‘bar manager’, but as a friend. She looks forward to many more years here at WLTC.
Donna Hockley Assistant Bar Manager
Donna has been an integral part of the team since arriving, is responsible for baking all our delicious home-made cakes and has a wonderful smile that lights up the room. Donna enjoys brisk walks, crime programmes (which is where she learns her sleuthing techniques) and relaxing at home with her gorgeous family. Donna is lucky enough to have 6 beautiful daughters and 3 grandchildren, and enjoys regular visits to Leeds to spend time with them.
