Courts

The club has 2 courts which are available for use by any member when not being used for matches, club competitions, club nights or coaching. Courts can be used by non-members for a charge of £2 per person per hour.

 

The conditions for using the courts are:-

Club Nights

These are usually held on Wednesdays during the summer starting at 6:30pm. Members usually get together on Saturday afternoons from 1pm onwards.  

Club Competitions

All members are eligible to enter the annual club championships. Details will be posted here when available

Ground Maintenance

In order to maintain facilities the club relies upon the efforts of members.  Work can range from clearing leaves and moss from the courts to repairing the clubhouse roof!

If you have some spare time there is always something useful that can be done

Plans

In the not-too-distant future the club will need to replace or resurface the courts and replace the perimeter fencing.  There is also a serious problem with the retaining wall which will need work on it .

 

If this is to be achieved we will clearly need to raise funds. Have you any ideas? Have you any money to give us?!
