Our Courts…
Our investment program has focused on the club’s primary function – playing tennis and from having five natural grass and three shale courts in 1999, we now offer eight artificial grass courts six of which have modern led floodlights.
Our Investment program since 2019 includes the follows items of work..
In 2019 we renewed the surface on courts 3, 4 and 5 and completed the rejuvenation of the surface of the other five courts.
In 2020 we added a new practice wall at the back of court 8.
In 2021 we renewed the surface on courts 6, 7 and 8.
In 2022 we added led floodlights to courts 6, 7 and 8.
In 2023 we converted the floodlights on courts 3, 4 and 5 to led lights and rejuvenated the carpet on courts 1 and 2.
Our Old Clubhouse…
Our original wooden clubhouse, which served the club since its inauguration over a century ago, has been replaced with a modern comfortable building.
The old club house had been a true “Club” house, in the sense it had loads of character, stood the test of time fairly well and had lots of space for the occasional social event.
The new club house offers the latest in ‘creature comforts’, additional space for social events (we do like a good social event…), and excellent viewing of the tennis courts.
Here’s a few photos showing the transformation as it progressed
Opportunities to play
During the Summer Season (April to September), the weekly calendar has a healthy mix of competitive and social tennis, alongside the clubs coaching program.We always maintain a sensible balance when it comes to court usage, keeping courts free at times (for general ‘consumption’) alongside the organised tennis sessions.
Set out below is the general structure of our organised tennis throughout the year, however as there are enough courts to ensure that there are normally courts available at all times for general use, feel free to pop down any time.
Courts do not need to be booked and the membership fee covers both the use of the courts and the provision of tennis balls, which are available in the clubhouse for senior members to use.
Appropriate tennis attire and footwear must be worn during play.
