Social Events
The highlights of TLTC Social Events calendar include :
Finals Day Club BBQ
Held on Open Championship Finals Day, usually on a Saturday in mid July during peak season. This is open to club members and partners and takes place whilst watching the finalists of the Open compete for the club trophies. BBQ food is readily available and members are encouraged to bring a salad or dessert with them. The bar is open and lasts longer than both the tennis and the BBQ, whilst gentle music sets the scene! The quality of tennis, food and beverage is only surpassed by the entente cordial and memories the next day.
Christmas Party
TLTC hold a Christmas Party during December at a local Twickenham venue where there is food, music and dancing to celebrate the festive season and the end of another tennis year.
White Swan
TLTC players can also often be found at the local White Swan pub by the river swapping tennis tales after social sessions on Saturday or Sunday afternoons or Tuesday and Thursday evenings during the summer.
Other Events
It is not unusual to find TLTC members firing up the charcoal for a spontaneous Sunday afternoon BBQ with other club members on a sunny summer' day.
