A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN

Updated 28th February 2025

Dear Members,

We are coming out of winter and we are beginning to plan the activities for the year at the tennis club. Last year was a good year for us socially, for our facilities, finances and in competitions. Our aim is to broaden the player base, and offer more opportunities for youngsters from the area, and maintain the social atmosphere and programme. Your committee have started planning for our events so be sure to check them out on our events page.

We need and welcome your participation in all aspects of running the club. If you wish to help in any way please make contact with any of the committee.
Steve Harris
Chair WTC
