When We Play
We tend to use Whatsapp groups to confirm attendance to the below sessions. This avoids only 1 member turning up and having no one to play. Members are given the choice of whether they would like to be added to the Whatsapp group when they join and can leave the group at any time.
All sessions run weekly, unless stated otherwise.
Monday Club Nights 6.30pm - 9.30pm runs all year round 365 days. This is a weekly adult 'mix-in' members tennis evening from 6.30pm to 9.30pm every Monday. No need to book, just turn up and play. A committee member will be present for these sessions to organise play. Mixed gender session.
Bank Holidays will be treated as 'informal' sessions only, on the basis many members may otherwise be busy.
Thursday 9.30am - 10.30am Cardio on the Courts
A tennis coach driven cardio exercise session, whether you play tennis or not, this boosts your vitamin D levels and gets you pumped for the day ahead! This session is provided for all adult club members by WeDoTennis at an additional monthly subscription fee of only £10 directly to WDT. Mixed gender sessions.
Wednesday 9.30am - 1pm AND Friday 9.30am - 11.00am
We also have an informal 'drop-in and play' 'mix-in' doubles sesssion for those wanting a friendly knock-up with other members. Just turn up and there should be someone else there to play with - mixed gender sessions.
Walking Tennis - Monday 11am - 12.30pm AND Friday 11am - 12.30pm
We have recently introduced this more slowly paced game of tennis, for thos who love to play, enjoy the social and would like to remain active. Walking tennis uses softer balls, allows 2 bounces within the court and certainly NO RUNNING. It's attrated interest from the local communicate and U3A groups and is expanding. Membership packages will be available from April 2025 and membership will allow full access to courts outside of these sessions.
