Frome Tennis

Latest Pavilion Progress

Construction of the pavilion is complete. Volunteers have cleared most of the rubbish from construction off site. There are some essential internal furnishings to be purchased and fitted during the coming fortnight and after this the building we will be fit for use. There is also some finishing off to be completed on the store complex and landscaping. The completion of fencing to make the site secure will be addressed over the next few weeks. The final stage is the boundary fencing at the Mary Baily Field end of the site. This is reliant on grant funding that will shortly be applied for.

The opening ceremony and club open day will be held on Saturday July 23rd starting at 11am. There will be plenty going on and everyone is welcome. The event is free, with the exception of lunch for which there is a charge.
