 Reading
8 Read the notices about three different clubs. Are these statements True (T), False (F) or is the information
Not Mentioned (NM)?

Tennis Club
This has been an excellent year for the tennis club. We started with 20 members and that number has grown to 45.
During the year many of our members played in competitions at school and for the area. David Markham entered the
national championships and came second. Well done, David! Maybe one day we’ll see him playing at Wimbledon. And
speaking of Wimbledon – in July 25 members went to watch the final. They’re still talking about it! Let’s hope next year is
even better.

Book Club
We are a small club, but we are growing all the time. There are now 15 members. We read 12 different books this year
and had some very interesting discussions. This year’s favourite was the second book by the Swedish writer Stieg Larsson
– The Girl Who Played with Fire. We also watched and enjoyed the film. We ran several writing competitions and one of
our members won a magazine prize. You can read her winning story in next month’s Writer’s World. Judith doesn’t know
if she wants to be a journalist or a novelist yet, but we think she will do well in both jobs!

Photography Club
This was the club’s first year and it was very successful! More than 30 students joined and we now have members from
the whole school. The youngest is 11 and the oldest is 18. We meet in the studio and learn about different cameras and
techniques. And we had some very interesting talks from experts this year. Our end-of-year competition was won by
Kenny Summers. Congratulations, Kenny! You can see his photograph – of bees on flowers in a field – and all the other
competition photographs on the club website, where you can also contact the club if you are interested in joining.
