DID YOU KNOW? Our clubhouse used to have not just a veranda, but a viewing platform.

For many decades, the clubhouse layout included an ideal place of cover whilst still experiencing the fresh air as well as an elevated viewing space to get amazing views of the courts.

Sadly, since the complete redevelopment of the clubhouse in 1993, those days are now a distant memory. However, with members now becoming aware of this previous layout, interest is beginning to rise and the return of these features in the future would not be unexpected.
