Welcome to Marnhull Tennis Club
Latest News - April 2025
A Wilson Federer Tour 110 racket was found on the courts on Wednesday, April 9. If this is your racket, please contact jeremyhamer7@gmail.com
If you haven't yet had time to renew your membership, put down the racket for a second and get on the computer! The 2025/2026 season at Marnhull Tennis Club promises to be more fun-filled than ever before, with everything from Wimbledon teas and tennis-flavoured pub quizzes to inter-club leagues and other competitive match play. With the new floodlights up and running we're looking forward to keeping the action going all through the year.
In other news:
- In recognition of his hard work as club chairman, Jeremy Hamer has received the Dorset Volunteer of the Year award from the LTA! Jeremy has spearheaded one of the club’s most ambitious projects in recent years with the installation of the court floodlights, as well as throwing his support behind an expanded calendar of social events, the burgeoning juniors programme and more competitive club tennis, among many other initiatives. He will now progress to the national awards, where he’ll be competing against tennis volunteers from other counties for the top prize.
- On April 27, we're celebrating the opening of the new season with cake, tea and tennis games! Meet existing and new club members while enjoying some light refreshments and a few mini doubles matches from 2-5pm.
- If you are new to the club or still deciding whether you want to commit to a membership, come on down to our taster sessions in April, where Club Chairman Jeremy Hamer will be hosting a weekly knock-up on Wednesdays for beginners, people who are returning to tennis and anyone who wants to learn more about what the club has to offer. If you're interested in taking part, please contact Jeremy via jeremyhamer7@gmail.com.
