Successful Easter American Tournament
Players & spectators spent a lovely afternoon in the sunshine on 26th March for our 1st mixed social tennis tournament of the 2022 season. Great weather, great tennis, great company and great cake! Congratulations to our winners, Arline and Graham & thanks to all those who participated, came along to support the event and were involved with the organisation.
Club Night to move to Wednesday evening from 6th April
As from Wednesday 6th April, there will be a change of evening for club nights, and the normal Thursday club night will swap to Wednesday evenings. This will address the dwindling numbers attending the Thursday club nights, and will also give the club the option of freeing up more courts on a Thursday to enter more teams in the Summer League.
The Monday club night remains the same.
This arrangement will last until August, but if the membership agree that this arrangement has been successful, then there is the option to make Wednesday a permanent club night.
We now have a club newsletter
