Tennis must be safe for everyone

We all have a shared responsibility to support the welfare of each other, in particular children, young adults and adults at risk whilst they are involved in any aspect of tennis at Gresford and Marford Tennis Club. 

If you have any concerns about yourself or anyone else, please
