On 30th August we held an event for the opening of our new artificial clay courts.
The committte would like to say Well done and thank you everyone for making the day such an amazing success.
We can't believe how many people came over during the course of the day- all spread out across the club, but more importantly so many people commentated on how great the day was with such an amazing atmosphere. To see such a range of members - rusty rackets , social players, team players and supporters all together having fun was brilliant.
The day started with a cardio session led by Rhys, Julie and Scott with around 25 people taking part, running lots hitting balls and having fun.
The wheely bin challenge was a great success- raising approximately £77 towards club funds - but more importantly it was FUN!!! Thank you Richard and Dolly for organsing!
John G- thank you for lending your amazing bbq and for cooking - The food was amazing and we even had to go and buy more burgers it was all so popular! Lewes thank you also for helping John with the food it was much appreciated!

But most importantly thank you to all the members who came along on the day. It was a great way to celebrate the opening of the new clay courts, with a great demo of how to drag and care for them from Rhys. The event finished with social tennis , which was inundated with players with everyone wanting to play on the new courts and mixing around to have a variety of games followed by tea and cakes.
