Adult Club nights, Mornings and Afternoons

Adult club nights are every Wednesday starting at 18:30. A member will be on duty to organise the evening and for prospective members, to show them around and introduce them to playing partners. Outdoor courts are booked throughout the summer and the Air Dome in the winter free of charge. Open to full members. Bar open 6-9pm.
Sunday Mornings will run from 10am until midday and provide mixed social tennis for any full member who can simply turn up to play on the day. Currently this is a self organised roll-up with those in attendance organising members into pairs for doubles sets and the club providing free use of tennis balls. At both Wednesday and Sunday sessions the Air Dome will be used through the winter to ensure a dry game, at no extra cost to members.
Weekday Club Afternoons run on Monday (Ladies) and Thursday (Mixed) on Courts 3&4 for two hours between 1pm and 3pm. Open to all Weekday and Full Members who would like to play social mixed tennis.
Wednesday Club Mornings occur throughout the year from 10:00 to 13:00. This is a social mix in for all Weekday and Full members, and there is a small charge for balls. To join simply roll-up from 10:00 or contact Phyllis Leete or Brian Berrill as this is a very popular event each week using most of our courts. In the winter the Air Dome is used for this open club session at no extra charge for members.
Do come down and give us a try a few times before you join. Both Wednesday and Sunday are social tennis although the emphasis is for Mixed Doubles. You are always encouraged to bring a bottle to add a little zip to your shots and aid the "social".

junior club night
Junior Club Nights are every Thursday throughout the year running from 4.30pm to 7pm. John Cavill has his coaching team on site to provide supervision and assistance for all those that attend. This is an excellent way to meet all the other Juniors and teenagers playing down at the club, play some social tennis and arrange your games for the rest of the week.
A tuck shop will be available in the club house, to help keep up the energy levels of the youngsters using the courts and will be manned and supervised by parent members. If any parent would like to volunteer their time either on an occasional or regular basis ( for example when your children are playing on court), then please contact John Cavill.
Further activities will also be made available in the club house to entertain our junior members once they have finished playing or while they are waiting to get on court.
The coaching team organise little competitions that can count towards your rating points if you are keen to move up the rankings. There are ladder and box leagues for all age groups.
