Welcome to our website. We have made it easier for you to book courts and see what’s on at your club.   Please make the website your first port of call for any information you may require.

An e-mail address is essential if you wish to use the on-line booking system from home.

Please help to look after the club facilities. If you are the last to leave, please ensure that all the lights are turned off, the shutters rolled down and the clubhouse doors locked.     Premises Manager

Clubhouse Key

All Adult and Intermediate members are entitled to a key to the clubhouse.   If you wish to have a key, please speak to Tony Chandler or leave a note in the Premises Manager's pigeonhole.

Defibrillator(Cardiac Science PowerHeart Plus Fully Automatic)

There is a defibrillator situated on the wall near the entrance to the Clubhouse. The unit, which is recommended by St John’s Ambulance, is easy to use:

• Clear voice prompts guide the user through the entire process 
• When the ‘rescuer’ applies the pads, it analyses the heart rhythm and “knows” when to deliver (or not to deliver) the shock which it does automatically
• The text screen provides helpful information

A 4 minute 27 seconds video demonstration showing how to use this fully automatic model is available on YouTube:

Tennis Advisory Group

The Tennis Advisory Group (T.A.G.), comprises volunteers who meet regularly to discuss tennis matters at the Club.

It is chaired by the Tennis Manager and includes representatives from various sections of the club, including the Juniors.

It was set up so that members have an avenue where they can voice their opinions for improvements. The Tennis Manager then takes the suggestions to the Management Committee.
