Wedmore Tennis Club

Wedmore Tennis Club  was founded in 1905-6 in a field near Wedmore Village Hall. In 1911 it relocated to the Sports Field land which had been left to the Village by a Miss White.

Two wired-in  grass courts were constructed in the south east corner of the field. The field was used also by Cricket, Football and Hockey teams and a Bowls green was created in 1919. 

Two hard courts were laid around 1967 together with the construction of a small wooden open hut which served as a clubhouse. During the 1980’s a third court was laid and floodlights – the first in the area – were erected on two of the courts. Synthetic Grass WA laid on the three courts in 2008. 

Generous grants and club’s funds financed the move to the clubs current location during the spring of 2015, whilst the original courts were donated to the village to be used as a MUGA facility and as a multi purpose area for the First School. 

On the 9th May 2015 approximately 150 members and guests gathered to celebrate the official opening of the new courts and clubhouse. Highlights of the day included a specially made ribbon being cut by our youngest member accompanied by the clubs two eldest members, the serving of a delicious cream tea, a demonstration of junior drills organised by our coaching team and an impressive exhibition match.
