Crowdfunder for 2 All Weather Courts

The club are currently running a Crowdfunding campaign to replace two of our shale courts to an all-weather surface to ensure Tennis all year round at the club for the first time in its 100 years at its Dunkirk Road location.

In order to achieve this target, our Crowdfunding target is £30,000 and the deadline is 10th May 2024.

The page will offer a number of goods and services donated by local communities that you can purchase through our Crowdfunding page.

If you feel yourself or someone you know can contribute to our Crowdfunding page with an offer or service someone can purchase via our Crowdfunding page, feel free to contact us.

CROWDFUNDER PAGE

Welcome

Welcome to the official website of Carlton Lawn Tennis Club.

Located in a quiet residential area in Birkdale, Southport our club has 4 shale courts and a licensed clubhouse that is large enough to host functions. We pride ourselves on being a family friendly club.

Clubhouse

We often have social events throughout the season culminating in a bbq to coincide with finals day in August, the pinnacle of our internal club tournament

Teams

We have 3 teams in the Southport league competing in divisions 2, 5 and 7.

Home matchnights are Monday, Tuesday from either 6.30pm or 7pm.

Social

Our club nights take place every Friday during the season from 6.30pm. We also have a number of social events each month during the season consisting of tournaments, BBQ's, live music, quiz nights, major sporting TV events or just regular social Tennis.

Shale Court Etiquette

As we play on shale courts, having the right shoes helps the surface. For advice on right shoes for shale, feel free to contact us.

Also once you have finished playing, you will need to either brush or mat the court with the brushes and mats provided. This is done to help redistribute the loose top dressing and smooths it out after play.

Juniors

We have recently re-introduced a 'kids club''. They take place at the club on Friday's 5-6pm and will be run our new LTA Coach, Shane Hutton. In accordance with the LTA's safeguarding policy, accompanying parents must be attendance during the sessions.
