CLUB DAY MIX IN SESSIONS
Updated October 2023
These sessions offer members lots of opportunities each week to turn up and play doubles with no advanced booking. We hope you support these sessions, which are an ideal opportunity to enjoy social tennis and meet new people.
The sessions are divided into “Lite” and “Main”. Please see definitions below table.

*From Monday 30 October 2023 a charge applies. This is equivalent to £1 per person for each full or part session attended. You must provide one Yellow Pass to the designated person on arrival to be able to play in each session. Yellow passes can only be purchased from the bar. This is your contribution towards use of floodlights.
**Open to all members but priority is given to those members not eligible to participate in the Main session.
Lite Sessions: Ideal for beginners and improvers, or those returning to tennis, where you can gain confidence in a relaxed environment.
Main Sessions: Open to stronger players, and those who’ve advanced from Lite Sessions. If you’re not sure, either attend a Lite session first, or contact the club.
Format:
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday: Play a short set - first to reach 6 games. Each person must bring their own tennis balls, which must be of a good standard.
Monday and Wednesday: You mix round with different players every 30 minutes. Whilst used match tennis balls are available, you can bring your own, which must be of a good standard.
All play is self-organised by those attending / volunteers, except for Monday Main session (6.30pm to 8pm) which will generally be organised by club coach Lauren Hill.
Play is on Astro courts. Matches or other events may restrict court availability.
Etiquette: Please familiarise yourself with our required Etiquette.
Contact Us: Please use the Contact Us section on the website. For Tuesday and Thursday you can also contact Sue Burgess for more information.
We have now started a Club Day panel to respond to any feedback and suggestions about Club Day, comprising Tom Lomasney, Mark Smith and Sue Hobden.
