Great News!
LTA HAMPSHIRE AND ISLE OF WIGHT CLUB OF THE YEAR SHORTLIST
NCTC has been shortlisted in the LTA Hampshire and Isle of Wight Tennis Club of the Year! This is a huge achievement considering the number of clubs in the area and is in part due to the Liss Village Festival which the Club, led by Andy Grey, organised and delivered last summer. And it goes without saying that NCTC is one of the best tennis clubs you can join!
We will find out in May if we are successful but nevertheless, being shortlisted is an excellent achievement.

Club Tournaments
Milkwood Trophy
We will be holding the Milkwood Tournaments very soon on Sunday mornings. More to follow.
Mike Hillman Tournaments
This tournament was designed by Mike Hillman many years ago and the handicap system used, ensures the team that is winning has to win more points to get the game. Always fun, these will be played during the summer months.
Club Championships
You will be able to sign up for this at the beginning of the summer and we hope there will be a good uptake this year. Matches are played throughout the summer with the finals for all tournaments, singles and double being played in September.
From the Chair
It may still be cold and it is certainly very wet at the moment but the evening are drawing out and the mornings are becoming lighter. Perhaps, like me, you are looking forward to playing in daylight in the evening again - hopefully not too long to wait!
We have a number of teams who play regularly, both Men’ and Ladies teams and we are hoping to reinstate the mixed team that has had a short break. If you are inserted in playing in one of our teams, do get in touch and let us know so that we can include you. Most matches are in the evening or occasionally at the weekend and the emphasis is on winning enjoying the game!
Open Day - 13 April
For any non-members reading this, come and meet us on the 13 April from midday to learn about the club and if you fancy a hit, bring your trainers.
For members, bring a friend! Bonus points if they join the club but do encourage your friends and family to come down on the 13th and meet some of the members.
