Membership
The club currently has about 170 members, encompassing a wide range of ages and abilities.
If you are considering joining the club, rest assured that you will be made very welcome by the current members.
In addition to access to the club's courts and club house, members are also able to join in the various social activities at the club.
If you are looking for competitive play, the club runs one-day events for juniors and adults and enters teams in a variety of competitions.
There are regular team practices for team members and club members also benefit from a discount on coaching fees.
Adult membership includes the use of club balls, which are replaced regularly. Members of the club are also eligible for free LTA British Tennis Membership.
The club is affiliated with the Lawn Tennis Association and encourages its members to join this worthwhile society, which has benefits for social as well as competitive players.
Each year, the LTA allocates a number of Wimbledon tickets to the club for distribution amongst its members.
It can sometimes be daunting to try out a new activity or club, but we aim to make this club as welcoming as possible.
So why not come along to try the courts and meet our members?
For adults, Tuesday and Thursday evenings are a great time to visit.
At these time there are normally plenty of members with whom you can have a social game.
If you are lucky enough not to be working during the day, then you could try a Monday or Friday morning, both of which have a good turnout.
If you'd prefer to improve your game first, how about trying one of the coaching sessions?
For youngsters, the best way to be introduced to the club is to contact the club coach Mike Armstrong, who will know the best time to play with others of a similar age and ability.
