Wantage Tennis Club AGM 2025
The Tennis Club Annual General Meeting is on Monday 24th November at the Comrades Club, 7:00pm for a prompt 7:30pm start.
An annual quorate AGM is essential to confirm the legitimate status of the Club both for the LTA and for our legal status.
More importantly the AGM is an opportunity to reflect on the past year and plan for the future, as well as a chance to catch up with the Committee and fellow members.
2025 has been a significant and successful year for Wantage Tennis Club and there are exciting times ahead.
If further incentives are necessary there will be prize raffles for volunteers and for all who attend!
The business will be swift and to the point after which refreshments will be provided and the bar will be open!
I look forward to seeing many of you at the AGM.

Wantage Tennis Club has always welcomed players of all abilities and there are many opportunities all year round for social play as well as match play.
