We hold an annual intra-club tournament in the summer every year, the categories of which are men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles. This culminates in a finals day in September, which all members are encouraged to attend, and includes a slap-up buffet lunch provided by member-volunteers. It is one of the highlights of our annual calendar: an opportunity to socialise with fellow members and watch some good, competitive tennis. Once a year, also in the summer, we hold a lucky-dip mixed doubles tournament called the Swingewood Tournament after two much-loved long-time members, Alan and Hazel Swingewood, who sadly died during the pandemic.
In addition, some of our coaches arrange Christmas and/or Easter mini-tournaments for their coaching session participants.
We also hold a mixed-doubles 'American' tournament once a month from April to October. This is open to everyone, but is particularly useful for new members and inexperienced players to meet other members and take part in a tennis session that is competitive but of an enjoyably mixed standard.
