UPCOMING RENEWALS

It's nearly subscription renewal time for the 2024/25 season - and we're happy to say that we're holding membership fees at the 2023/24 levels with no increase.  This means your Chiswick Tennis Club membership will be even better value!

Here are the 2024/25 subscription prices (same as 2023/24):

  • Adult:  £340
  • Senior (65+):  £275
  • Off peak (Weekdays except Bank Holidays up to 6pm and Sundays from 12 noon):  £230
  • Student (19-21):  £100
  • Junior (with parent at the club):  £55
  • Junior (without parent at the club):  £75

As last year, we have a waiting list of people who would like to join as full members; we cap the number of full members each year to manage the pressure on court bookings and social sessions.  Current members are encouraged to renew promptly, so we know how many spaces can be offered to new members.  Off-peak members are likely to be able to upgrade to full membership if they want to - they'll get updated on that separately.

So look out for the renewal emails and act promptly to enjoy another fun-packed year at Chiswick Tennis Club!

 

NEW CLUB HOUSE ACTIVITIES

A new class ‘Fit & Flex’ will be held on a Tuesday evening 7.00pm – 8.00pm in the clubhouse. The class will focus on dynamic stretching by increasing flexibility and toning muscles as well as promoting relaxation and reducing stress by releasing tension in the muscles. For more information, contact Jo: barryjoanne@btinternet.com

 

FENCING WORKS

Work began on Monday 5th February to repair fencing damaged by the storm. Panels will also be added to the new fencing to replace the hedge which is dying. The new work is scheduled to take 3 weeks.

 

CHISWICK TENNIS CLUB GARDENS

Spring is hopefully just round the corner. It is so lovely to see the Camellias beginning to bloom in the gardens.

Thank you to Jo and everyone else who helps out to give us such lovely grounds to play in.

Get Ready for Spring Drop in Sessions – Monday 8pm – 9pm 

Our Get Ready for Spring classes are ideal for players who have experience in tennis and are able to maintain a rally when the incoming ball has slow/ medium pace without spin and placed close to the player.

Players in this class have some experience at volleys and serving but are not yet confident with those shots in a point play situation.

While players in this class are able to maintain rallies, they are not yet able to maintain rallies when the incoming ball has speed, spin or requires more movement. Players are also not yet confident at directing the ball or hitting with spin.
