Club Sessions
No need to worry if you do not have anyone to play with. Apart from the WhatApp groups you can join and the Box Ladder, as a member you are entitled to turn up to the Monday and Thursday Club Mornings (from 9am) and Tuesday (from 7pm in term times and 6.30pm otherwise) and Thursday Club Evenings (from 6.30pm), where you will play doubles with whoever else turns up. If more turn up than there are courts for, we play short sets and take turns. It is a great opportunity to practise what you are learning in coaching, and you will make friends too.
