You don’t have to play tennis to be welcome at our club. Anyone can now be a social member for just £20. We will keep you up to date of all news and developments at the club and send invites to all our social events where you will be able to come along and join us.
2024 Club Championships
All members are invited to take part in our annual club championships. There are the following tournaments available to enter:
- Men’s Singles
- Ladies Singles
- Men’s Doubles

Entering the championships is a great way of prolonging the season and giving yourself extra matches once the league season has finished. The entry fee is £5 per tournament, and the only condition is that you must be available to play on finals day which is Sunday 8th September.
You can enter using the link below. Entries will be open for a while and further communications will be sent closer to the entry deadline.
