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
  • Ladies Doubles
  • Mixed 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.

Congratulations to Dave Thompson and Rob Walker who were our 2023 men’s doubles club champions

Social Tennis

As well as the matches, we also offer two different designated time slots for you to come to the club and have a game with others without needing to organise anyone to play with!

Monday Social Tennis

Monday social tennis will be starting on Monday 29th April this year. A reminder of social tennis:

  • Every Monday
  • 7pm onwards
  • Free to all
  • Equipment provided

If you’re fancying a game, just turn up and give it a go! You don’t need to tell anyone in advance, so no commitment is required.

Sunday Club Afternoon

Starting from Sunday 31st March, our fun Sunday club afternoon will be resuming. Similar to a Monday evening social tennis, this is another dedicated time where you can just turn up and play if you fancy it!

  • Every Sunday
  • 1600-1800
  • Free for members
  • £5 for non-members

Social tennis is a perfect way to spend a lovely evening!
