Hi All

I hope you all had a great Xmas break and I wish you and yours a Happy New Year.

I’m sure like me, you have made a New Year’s Resolution to improve your fitness, reduce your weight, cut down on this and that, etc, etc, etc………. Why not get more involved with tennis either through coaching or through the social play we have here at the club.  I am sure that we all have a friend that has said they would like to take up tennis but are a little overawed at coming along and getting started – I would like to challenge all our adult members to try and persuade a new player down to the club.  All new players are allowed to come along with a current member up to 3 times during January and February before they will be expected to join the club, normally there is a visitors fee of £5 to play but the Committee have agreed to waive this charge for January and February 2010 in the hope that we will encourage some new members to join.

Social Play – Organised social play happens on the following days:

Wednesday and Friday evening from 18:30 till 21:45 hrs

Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 09:00 till 12:30 hrs

Sunday mornings from 09:00 till 12:00 hrs
