CHERITON TENNIS CLUB SPRING 2026 NEWSLETTER

Rain has stopped play on the Cheriton courts on countless occasions this winter but hopefully Spring will bring some long-awaited warmer, drier days when tennis can be played without the need for four layers of clothes.

The courts are in excellent condition, having been recently resurfaced, and the new LED lights are a great success. 

At the recent CTC committee meeting it was decided to maintain the current membership fees this year. Prices for members include the lights and full use of all the courts and clubhouse. Any membership queries please contact Tracey Paynter on 01962 771958 or email your enquiry to: - membershipchertitontc@gmail.com

On Monday evenings the ladies night is popular, with a hardy team, organised by Jane Johnstone, turning out in all weathers to play. The following night the men take over the courts and are always looking for new recruits to join them. Coach Russell Edmonds runs his popular cardio fitness tennis on Wednesdays (at 1pm) and Fridays (at 10.30am). To join in contact him at info@coachmesports.com.

The AGM will be held in May (date to be confirmed on the website) where, once again, all members are welcome. Please bring racquets and picnics.

Could I please remind members NOT to share the new code, which will be given out with renewals, and to ensure gates are locked after play. We have had incidents in the past where the code has been disclosed to non-members, with unfortunate results. The code will be changed on all the courts on Monday 13th April 2026. The clubhouse should be left in as found with members asked to ensure everything is clean and tidy after use.

Enjoy your tennis!

Caroline Young

Chair.
