Welcome to the new tennis season:

Thanks to all who attended the Clubs AGM and the Awards Presentation last November.

Sadly, the Club has lost its caravan (damage due to high winds) but plans are in place to obtain a replacement very soon.

There will be no increase in Membership fees this year. Please see Subscription Sheet for details.

 We will be starting a trial period of Wednesday & Saturday Club Sessions where three new tubes of tennis balls will be provided by the Club every Session, but asking all those attending to pay £0.50 per session for this privilege. At the end of each Session the used balls will be offered for sale at £1.00 per tube of 4.   Please, please buy!!

Further details on this nearer the time.
